Cohesion and Trauma: An Examination of a Collegiate Women's Volleyball Team
Fletcher, Teresa B.; Meyer, Barbara B.
Journal of Humanistic Counseling, Education and Development, v48 n2 p173-194 Fall 2009
This study examined the effects of Adventure Based Counseling (i.e., a low-element challenge program) on the cohesion of a collegiate women's volleyball team. Results suggest postintervention improvements in team cohesion. The support created in the challenge experience also transferred to the players helping one another to grieve the untimely loss of a teammate. (Contains 1 table and 1 figure.)
