q1 · i? · theoretical · r2

This is the paper's central proposal, argued from the premise that experiential methods can teach participants to overcome difficulties and heal their own lives. It is an opinion paper reporting no empirical test of the proposal.

"This paper proposes that adventure-based programs may be designed in a way that not only provides an intervention to realise the objectives set for the participant group, but also may be designed to teach them a process; a process they can apply to a wide range of areas in their lives."
