There are few graduate students in social sciences who have not seen the 1964 movie “Three approaches to psychotherapy”, a film developed by Everett Shostrom about the world of counseling and psychotherapy. This movie shows a real client “Gloria” being interviewed in turn by psychotherapists Carl Rogers (Person-Centered Therapy), Albert Ellis (Rational Emotive Therapy) and Fritz Perls (Gestalt Therapy).

As we discuss “helping” and “intervention” please see how each therapist approaches Gloria and her concerns in the links below. Look past the trappings of the early 1960s--the grainy black and white film, attire, and the ever present cigarette smoke—

During the adolescent years, it is common to participate in behaviors that are rebellious or peer influenced. One of the most common activities is adolescent drinking. It is estimated that nearly 75% of college students consume alcohol within a 30 day period and more than half of all 12th graders have been intoxicated at some point in their lives (Feldman, 2015). The problem with these statistics is majority of these surveyed are participating in binge drinking and not just having a social drink. Binge drinking is drinking multiple drinks during a sitting, resulting in being intoxicated. Binge drinking can cause a lot of unusual behaviors that not only directly affect the person drinking but the population surrounding the person. Binge drinking as also shown to disturb the white matter on brain scams and has the potential to open the doorway to alcoholism. Alcohol addiction or alcoholism is when a person cannot control their alcohol use and are unable to stop drinking once they begin. This can make a person binge drink or even drink continuously throughout the day. It is not entirely clear as to what makes a person an alcoholic but genetics does play a role. Adolescents with parents or family members who have an addiction to alcohol have an increased risk factor to becoming addicted as well. An increase in stress or a need to release tension can be other reason for adolescents to become addicted. Some interventions taken to encourage adolescents to not participate in drinking are joining peer groups or having friends that hold higher standards. Surrounding yourself with peers that do not participate in drinking is a great first step but not always an option. In the event a adolescent finds themselves at a party where underaged drinking is occurring, they should try to be a designated driver or a sober friend to ensure others are safe. Some high schools have ‘project graduations’ or ‘sober prom committees’ to give students other options other than going down the shore to party. There are also plenty of dry college campuses which can help discourage some, but of course not all, students from drinking. Resident advisors at college dorms can also help maintain a sober living environment and encourage underclassmen to participate in scheduled events and activities that do not include drinking. One of the most important influences for adolescents not to drink is having a healthy example within their own parents. Talking to your adolescent child about avoiding groups that participate in drinking and partying while maintaining an open relationship with them can help tremendously with these situations.
