Abstract:
The rise in mental health issues in children and adolescents in the U.K has increased the need for evidence based therapeutic interventions. The focus of the research in this thesis was to contribute towards the growing evidence base for effective cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) interventions suitable for young people which could be delivered in school settings. This research specifically aimed to evaluate a manual based intervention to address anxiety in young people. The 'FRIENDS for Youth' (Barrett 1998) program was chosen for its existing success in Australia and its strong roots in CB

Abstract:
Military staff are repeatedly exposed to stressful and unpleasant traumatic life events. These can cause psychological injury, leading to mental and emotional stress. The stigma of mental health problems in military settings runs deeper than in civil society. Being admitted with mental health problems while serving can be a career stopper, but at times can also be associated with cowardice or malingering. It is the primary responsibility of the military to maintain and promote high military/combat readiness among staff. The change in focus of modern military forces, such as the Botswana

Abstract:
Wilderness therapy is increasingly seen as a viable treatment alternative for troubled youth, yet there is a noticeable dearth of research comparing the effectiveness of wilderness therapy with more traditional treatment programs. To help address this research need, this study conducted an exploratory analysis of the therapeutic benefits of a wilderness therapy program, Wilderness Quest (WQ), compared to a therapeutic community program, Life-Line (LL). The WQ and LL programs both are based on a 12- step recovery philosophy and emphasize the integral role of the family in adolescent treatment.
