Scott
W. Henggeler, Ph.D.
Dr. Henggeler received his Ph.D. in clinical psychology
from the University of Virginia in 1977. Currently, he is professor
of psychiatry and behavioral sciences and director of the Family Services
Research Center at the Medical University of South Carolina. He has
published more than 170 journal articles, book chapters, and books;
and he is on the editorial boards of nine journals. Recent volumes include
Innovative Approaches for Difficult to Treat Populations (with
A. B. Santos) and Multisystemic Treatment of Antisocial Behavior
in Children and Adolescents (with several colleagues).
Much of Dr. Henggelers research concerns serious
antisocial behavior in adolescents and the development of clinically
effective and cost-effective treatments for such behavior. In collaboration
with several colleagues, he has developed the theoretical rationale
and intervention procedures for multisystemic therapy (MST), a family-
and home-based treatment that has demonstrated long-term reductions
in recidivism and out-of-home placements in several studies of youths
presenting serious problems and their families. Currently, Dr. Henggeler
is conducting a NIDA-funded evaluation of the long-term effectiveness
of MST with substance-abusing delinquents; an NIMH-funded evaluation
of MST as a family-based alternative to psychiatric hospitalization
of youth in crisis; an NIAAA- and NIDA-funded evaluation of MST and
juvenile drug court; and several other studies examining the integration
of evidence-based mental health treatments into neighborhood and school
settings and the viability of MST-based continua of care. His social
policy interests include the development and validation of innovative
methods of mental health services for disadvantaged children and their
families as well as efforts for redistributing mental health resources
to services that are clinically effective and cost-effective and preserve
family integrity.
