abstract="Background:  The paper illustrates the MST treatment model with three types of presenting problem in young people aged 14–15.  Method:  The MST model is described and then illustrated with detailed case material from a violent young person convicted of robbery, a young person with a history of serious self-harming behaviour and hospitalisation, and a young person persistently smoking cannabis.  Results:  All three cases improved after the MST intervention despite disparate presenting problems that included re-offending, the elimination of self-harming behaviour and a significant reduction in the use of cannabis. The three young people were re-integrated into the education system.  Conclusion:  This case series illustrates the potential uses of the MST model in CAMHS although RCT data are needed to replicate the effectiveness of MST in the British context.<p />",
