Therapeutic Effects of Participating in an Adventure Therapy Program.

Herbert, James T.

Rehabilitation Counseling Bulletin, v41 n3 p201-216 Mar 1998

Supported-employment employees participated in an adventure-therapy program designed to enhance self-esteem and facilitate an internal locus of control. Results indicated that persons assigned to the experimental treatment group gained greater self-esteem and a larger shift toward internality than did the control group. Effects dissipated over a one-year period. (Author/MKA)
