Functional Family Therapy: Implementing an Evidence based model in Evidence based ways Thomas L. Sexton, Ph. D,, ABPP Adolescents with behavior problems represent one of the largest and most challenging client populations for any community based mental health clinician. Functional Family Therapy (FFT) is one of the few evidence based treatment models for youth with mental health, substance use/abuse, and other behavioral problems. Recent studies suggest that FFT is successful in a wide variety of contexts but that is the way in which FFT is implemented is one of the key elements in successful outcomes. This presentation will focus on the evolution of FFT from a simple idea to a comprehensive and systemic clinical and implementation model that can be successfully translated into community settings.
