MORAL RecoNATION THERAPY "MRT"

Moral Reconation Therapy is a branch of Risk-Need-Responsivity Programming that addresses cognitive reasoning in the process of making decisions. 

MRT is structured around 16 steps that focus on 7 main issues:

• Beliefs, attitudes and behavior
• Assessment of current relationships
• Reinforcement of positive behavior and habits
• Positive identity formation
• Enhancement of self-concept
• Decrease in hedonism (pleasure vs. pain) and development of frustration tolerance
• Development of higher stages of moral reasoning 

MRT is typically conducted in weekly groups and are administered by MRT-Certified facilitators. 

Research on MRT has shown that as clients pass steps, moral reasoning increases and participants have lower recidivism rates.
