“…Finally, the group is an especially appropriate setting for dealing with the most important area for change in reality therapy -the failure identity (Clagett, 1992). The failure identity or psychological pain can be turned around in the group in an atmosphere in which real caring and love can be nurtured.…”

“…They are also asked to state the terms of their contract clearly in the group and to report to the group every small piece of progress toward fulfilling it. Such a group process allows the members to regain confidence by recognising their previously untapped strengths and resourcefulness (Clagett, 1992;Beck & Malley, 1998). All this reveals that reality therapy is an empowerment process to engender a chain of effects that the members originally perceive as impossible.…”

This study evaluates a reality therapy group for students enrolled in the Form 1 classes of a low-band secondary school in Hong Kong who have exhibited signs of disaffection such as apathy toward study and school activities, repeated academic failure and disruptive classroom behaviour. The results, based on interviews with members and their teachers, indicate significant improvements in the self-esteem, life satisfaction and school performance of the adolescent participants. The results from a self-report evaluation questionnaire also show the members' satisfaction and their positive perceptions of the group in terms of goal attainment and the impact the group has had on them. The implications of these findings for future practice and research are discussed.

This article argues for restoration of the value of camping programs as effective social work interventions. Therapeutic camp programs provide a unique intervention through which vulnerable children and youth may make gains in their emotional and social functioning while having fun with peers. An evaluation of a camp program for children and adolescents with learning disabilities and psychosocial problems offers a compelling illustration of how camp can provide an effective context for social group work interventions. Evaluative findings are presented, along with campers' and parents' impressions of the program. Therapeutic camp programs link new approaches with enduring social work principles that reflect social work's roots.

“…Also, ABC uses reinforcement theory as a basic component of its approach. Reality theory is incorporated into ABC by the highlighting of natural consequences, taking responsibility for one's own actions, and working in the present toward the future (Clagett, 1992).…”

Increasingly, Adventure Based Counseling (ABC) is recognized as providing a significant means to help clients. This article describes the outdoor and indoor adventure experience and its relationship to counseling. A conceptual framework of ABC has been developed to provide a better understanding of the process and potential benefits of this approach and to serve as a model for researchers. Counseling theories, educational theories, setting, programming, processing, and transferring client gains to real life are explained as well as the potential psychological, educational, sociological, physical, and spiritual benefits of ABC.
