The aim is to find out how they perceive the risk of delinquent adolescents, to verify differences between groups of delinquent and non-delinquent adolescents and see themselves as delinquent adolescents perceptions of different techniques in group psychotherapy. The findings of these risk adolescents concept we implemented in the form of a qualitative study. We used semi-structured interview with 8 delinquent adolescents aged 15 to 18 years. The interview focused on the perception of actual risk, the reasons for performing hazardous tasks to present experiences when performing hazardous activities and on whether there is an alternative to this risky activity. Data were analyzed using the cluster method. The second study focused on finding differences between groups of delinquent and non-delinquent adolescents in the areas of self-esteem (as measured by Rosenberg self-esteem scale), attachment to peers (as measured by a questionnaire IPPA) and attributional style (as measured by the revised questionnaire ASQ). The study was based on a quantitative analysis of 198 questionnaires. The third study focused on how delinquent adolescents perceive the verbal and action techniques used in group work with them. We used a phenomenological qualitative semi-structured interviews with 11 surveyed persons aged 15 to 18 years (2 women, 9 men) who have committed the offense the last two years
