Abstract Details

2023, Psy. D., Antioch University, Antioch Santa Barbara: Clinical Psychology.
The following dissertation presents a proposal for a program developed on theoretical concepts of the False Self and Persona. Integrative treatment approaches, such as Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, surfing, equine therapy, and wilderness therapy combined with individual and group psychotherapy, may be helpful in diminishing adolescent substance abuse by increasing connection to their internal resources and exposure to healthy external support. Although there are various programs that have proven to be effective in the treatment of substance abuse in adolescence, they tend to neglect the subjective experience of the individual and fail to address the why, behind the desire to self-negate in adolescence. Thus, the focus of this program is to move towards true self functioning by increasing subjective well-being and fostering a greater connection to self. This program proposal will discuss the underlying goals and proposed implementation of these integrative approaches in the treatment of adolescent substance abuse.
