    Positive Therapy for the Enhancement of Adjustment, Self-esteem and Management of Anxiety in Adolescents
    (2015) Gayatridevi, S
    Six hundred students studying in XI standard were screened using the Case Study Schedule (Hemalatha, 2008) and Bell's Adjustment Inventory. Out of them 394 students with Very Unsatisfactory Adjustment/ Unsatisfactory Adjustment were selected for the study. The psychological intervention Positive Therapy (Hemalatha, 2004) was administered to all the adolescents. All the four strategies of Positive Therapy namely. Relaxation Therapy, Counselling, Exercises and Behavioural Assignments were applied. The subjects were provided with Positive Therapy for 30 sessions; each session lasted for about one hour, over a period of 6 weeks. The results showed that the major causes of Unsatisfactory Adjustment were improper home atmosphere and adaptation of wrong coping strategies. Initially, the entire adolescents had Very Unsatisfactory Adjustment/ Unsatisfactory Adjustment but after the administration of Positive Therapy, for 6 weeks, there was a drastic enhancement in the level of the Adolescent's Adjustment and reduction in Anxiety.
