title: Use of adventure experiences in traditional counseling interventions.
abstract: Use of adventure as an intervention in traditional counseling was explored with 84 adolescent clients from two community-based counseling agencies and residents from two boys' homes. The adolescents were assigned to conditions of counseling plus adventure experiences, counseling only, adventure only, or a control. Analysis indicated limited support for increasing self-esteem and social skills by adding adventure experiences to on-going counseling.
