Abstract: The focus of this paper is directed to the treatment readiness of juveniles, who were mandated to psychosocial counseling upon committing an offence or misdemeanor. Several aims were in the focus: describing a measure for assessment of treatment readiness accompanied with psychometric testing, assessing treatment readiness and examining the relationship between treatment readiness, youth characteristics, and youth readiness to change, problem recognition and passage of the time.
