If multiple limitations contribute to antisocial behavior, then an adequate treatment program must be correspondingly multi-componential. Adequate social perspective-taking—perspective-taking that is profound or mature; rationalization-busting, adequately informed, and hence discerning; reciprocally ideal and balanced; and socially expansive or inclusive—should be a basic theme pervasive across the components of any effective treatment program. This chapter focuses on a multicomponent treatment program that incorporates a wide variety of social perspective-taking opportunities pertaining to the remediation of moral developmental delay, social cognitive distortions, and social skill deficiencies, namely, the EQUIP program. High-fidelity implementations of EQUIP can stimulate a positive synergy through EQUIP’s integration of mutual help (motivation, culture) and cognitive behavioral (curriculum) approaches. Chapter 8 concludes with a discussion of adaptations and outcome evaluations, and illustrates social perspective-taking treatments available for severe offenders.Less

This chapter describes a multi-component treatment program for antisocial behavior that incorporates a wide variety of social perspective-taking opportunities: EQUIP. More specifically, it examines the two basic approaches integrated in EQUIP to treat antisocial behavior: the mutual help approach and the cognitive behavioral approach. The chapter first considers the challenge presented by aggressive and other antisocial youths to the mutual help approach, along with the value and limitations of mutual help programs. It then explains how the mutual help and cognitive behavioral approaches induce social perspective-taking, with particular emphasis on cognitive restructuring and cultivation of a mature morality through perspective-taking in social decision-making. It also looks at issues affecting the implementation of the EQUIP and concludes with illustrations of more intensive perspective-taking treatments available for severe offenders.Less
