“…The incarcerated population is considered an underserved population, specifically in reference to accessing and acquiring mental health services (Tadros & Finney, 2018, 2019; Tadros, et al, 2020b). While awareness of mental illness and treatments continue to advance, the incarceration and mental health statistics do not follow suit as mental illness is at an all-time high within the criminal justice system (Tala et al, 2017).…”

Rates of incarceration in the United States have grown dramatically over the past 50 years. These high rates of incarceration call for mental health and relational therapy to incarcerated individuals and their families. In conducting a literature review on incarceration, several topics emerged: mental illness, racial and ethnic disparity, and recidivism. When studying incarceration, mental illness is a necessary topic of inclusion due to high prevalence of mentally ill incarcerated individuals. When exploring issues related to incarceration, it is important to discuss diverse disparities to be able to put the individuals into context of their social location as well as address how contextual factors impact incarceration. The purpose of this article is to highlight the systemic, relational issues within incarcerated settings and then to display how treating mental illness and relational concerns allows for a healthier integration back into the family system. Clinical implications and future directions are also provided.

The racial disparity in the American juvenile justice system impacts the lives of many youth of color. Youth of color constitute 34% of the U.S. population, however, they make up 62% of the youth charged in the juvenile justice system. The cycle of racial inequality and imprisonment are factors influenced by residential segregation and policing practices. Juvenile justice involvement leads to poorer physical and mental health in youth, stymied social outcomes, poorer familial relationships, decreased graduation and employment rates, increased rates in violence, and long‐term negative future outcomes. The article advocates for mental health treatment and family services to be incorporated within incarcerated settings. Clinical strategies and future direction are discussed to begin to combat these various adverse impacts.

Medical family therapy (MedFT) is a systemic, biopsychosocial meta-framework by which clinicians provide therapeutic services to patients and their families who are experiencing physical health problems. MedFTs conceptualize families holistically and further work with families to develop a sense of agency and communion to improve their lived experience. Home-based family therapy (HBFT) is a method of treatment in which clinicians and other mental health professionals meet clients and their families where they are by providing therapeutic services at their clients’ places of residence. However, there is a gap in existing literature regarding the application of MedFT within the HBFT setting. The purpose of this article is to explore how MedFT can be utilized in home-based therapy settings. Moreover, a case application is provided to illustrate the applicability and effectiveness of the utilization of MedFT in HBFT settings.
