Abstract	In this article literature published on Mode Deactivation Therapy (MDT) was reviewed in depth. Several studies were identified that used a common outcome measure of reduction of physical and sexual aggression, other risk related behaviors. Comparisons of MDT and, other standardized approaches typically used in treating aggression in juveniles, were made. The studies involved individual clients and small groups using MDT and comparative methodology. The studies involved varying periods in treatment settings and longitudinal follow ups. The results document a greater degree of treatment success for MDT as compared with a standard Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) or Social Skills Training (SST). These comparisons were made in varying combinations, with observances made with similar subjects or subject groups. The degree of change associated with MDT was highly discernable in the studies, and will be reviewed and evaluated in meta-analysis study in the near future. MDT was developed for an specific age group, (141/2-18) with specific disorders. It has been demonstrated as an effective methodology as an Evidenced Based Psychotherapy. Implications for further outcome and process studies in cognitive therapy are discussed. (Contains 1 figure and 1 chart.) (As Provided).
