“…Although research in offender contexts related to the effectiveness of arts therapies among adults and adolescents has been conducted, there is relatively little evidence about focusing specifically on single-modality artsbased approaches for young offenders. In the qualitative studies of intervention programmes among male (Mazloomian & Moon, 2007;Persons, 2009;McTaggart, 2010) and female adolescent offenders (Goodkind & Miller, 2006) have used art therapy, and music therapy among male and female offenders (Rio & Tenney, 2002). There are two pretest-posttest design studies among institutionalized male juvenile offenders: DeCarlo & Hockman's (2012) study revealed the outcomes of rap therapy versus traditional group therapy in advancing prosocial behavior across violent offenders, status offenders, and non-offenders; and Johnson (1981) reported significant improvements among music therapy intervention group members on measures of self-concept and a specific change in views of perceiving themselves as having fewer rebellious and distrustful feelings.…”

The aim of the study was to evaluate the impact of program of integrated arts therapy on young female delinquents' who experienced emotional and behavioral problems in a correctional institution. The outlined intervention was introduced as part of a curriculum involving art therapy, drama therapy, music therapy, and dance/movement therapy sessions that were facilitated twice a week during a 5-week period. A quasi-experimental design was used where an intervention group (N = 12) and a control group (N = 17) members aged 14-17 years were evaluated at two time points. A self-report version of Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) and a modified Behavior Checklist (BC) were used prior to and after the intervention to screen for conduct, emotional, peer problems, hyperactivity, and prosocial behavior, and to investigate the frequencies of aggressive, withdrawn and prosocial behavior. There were statistically significant reductions in three of the five emotional and behavioral problems measured by the SDQ, including conduct and emotional problems, an increase of prosocial behavior, and significant differences in two domains measured by the BC: decrease in frequencies of aggressive behavior and increase of prosocial behavior.

“…Despite a steady contribution of reports and qualitative studies (e.g. Chilton & Alexandria, 2007;Mazloomian & Moon, 2007;Newell-Walker, 2002), the wide range of settings and methods have made evaluation of their appropriateness and efficacy challenging. While much of the literature records successful interventions, there is an absence of both an underlying theoretical foundation and the rigorous demands of empirical tests seen within conventional 168 B.…”

Canadian youth can experience a range of mental health problems and mental illness, many of which perpetuate into adulthood. In contrast with preventative and medical care for physical problems, youth who experience difficulties with mental health or illness meet restricted access to evaluation, diagnostic and treatment services. Obstacles vary from low funding levels for services to the fear of being stigmatised by society. Conventional therapies could be complemented by the use of arts-based therapies, which are reported to offer a tangible alternative and could relieve delays in treatment. However, research regarding the treatment options, monitoring and assessment of outcomes is based largely on narrative evidence or idiographic studies, thus constraining the dissemination of supporting evidence and limiting the range of treatments for use by practitioners. While arts-based therapies receive support from many areas, including people with lived experience of mental health problems and illness, it is argued that the development of a theoretical foundation and extensive empirical research are required to develop the potential that arts-based therapies have to offer.

“…Goodkind & Miller, 2006;McTaggart, 2010;Oesterreich & McNie Flores, 2009;Mazloomian & Moon, 2007) and mixed methods (Persons, 2009) research showed that individual and group based art therapy programs were beneficial for young offenders in correctional institutions in several ways, with improving of participants' self-confidence, self-expression, emotional well-being and development of positive interpersonal relationships. Hartz and Thick's (2005) quasi-experimental study tested the impact of two art therapy approaches on the self-esteem of juvenile offenders and both groups showed a significant improvement in self-esteem.…”

The purpose of this study was to investigate the potential for an integrated arts therapy intervention to influence youth at risk for delinquent behavior. Toward this goal, we applied a one-group pre-post experimental design to assess the effect of an Integrated Arts Therapy Program on participants' selfreported life satisfaction, self-esteem (global and academic), mood (general and momentary), and emotional and behavioural problems (emotional, conduct, hyperactivity, peer, and prosocial behavior) in a sample of students with risk of delinquency. Teachers identified at risk youngsters and 95 students aged between 8 and 17 participated in 16 different gender-mixed groups for 16 sessions during eight-week program period. Results of within group comparisons indicated positive, statistically significant improvements from pre-to posttest on all of the measures: (1) increased global self-esteem (the Global Negative Self-Evaluations Scale), academic self-esteem (the Perceived Academic Competence Scale), and life satisfaction (the Students' Life Satisfaction Scale); (2) decreased total difficulties with conduct and hyperactivity problems, and improved prosocial behavior (the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire); and (3) improved momentary and general mood over time by intervention. These findings indicated that the multi-modal arts therapy group-based program for students with risk for delinquency may be an effective intervention and can lead to at least short-term positive changes by improving participants' self-esteem, wellbeing and behavioral problems.
