The authors implemented a small series (N = 4) single-case research design to assess the effectiveness of a nine-session Relational-Cultural Therapy (RCT) intervention with adolescent females incarcerated in a youth detention facility. Analysis of participants’ scores on the Relational Health Inventory using the Percentage Of Data Points Exceeding the Median procedure yielded treatment effects indicating that RCT may be effective for promoting relational empowerment and engagement with others; however, treatment was not associated with a greater amount of relational authenticity with others. Discussion of systemic variables that limit relational development during incarceration is provided.
