TY - JOUR PY - 1992// TI - Deviant adolescent subcultures: assessment strategies and clinical interventions JO - Adolescence A1 - Clark, Cynthia M. SP - 283 EP - 293 VL - 27 IS - 106 N2 - Alienation is a contributing factor in adolescents' participation in Satanism, the neo-Nazi skinhead movement, and violent street gangs. Many of their needs are met by gang and/or cult affiliation, including a sense of belonging, self-worth, companionship, and excitement. Emphasizing prevention may minimize deviant subculture involvement, but some adolescents require clinical intervention, ranging from a few outpatient sessions to lengthy inpatient hospitalization. Therapists must be knowledgeable about adolescents' involvement, empathic to their circumstances, and sophisticated in the approach to treatment.
