Emerging Issues in Therapeutic Adventure with Families

Abstract

With a history of effective treatment of individuals and groups, it is a natural evolution for therapeutic adventure to incorporate families into the treatment paradigm. This article looks at the development of adventure family therapy as a specific sub-discipline of therapeutic adventure, including the integration of family therapy theories and a review of the research. Future obstacles, such as scope of practice limitations, lack of theoretical integration in practice, and research limitations are also discussed.
