Abstract


The current research study attempts to observe the impact of Psychological Interventions on improving parent-child relationship among adolescents. To achieve this objective Rao's (1971) Parent Child Relationship Scale were administered on 200 undergraduate students fromArts, Commerce, Science and Management streams of South Goa colleges. The adolescents who are in need of counseling were identified on the basis of pre-test scores determined in each scale. On the basis of the obtained data, adolescents were than divided into experimental and control groups. Psychological interventions were provided to those identified adolescent's of experimental group, over a period of one year. After which post-test data is collected from both the groups of adolescents. Further, paired 't'-test was applied to observe the impact of psychological interventions on the above sample. Hypothesis stating that there will be a significant improvement in Parent Child relationship, among Adolescents after going through psychological interventions is proved through this paper. Through this paper the researcher wants to depict the impact of psychological interventions tailor made to an adolescent client for optimal facilitation. The results of parent child relationship scores are highly significant (p<0.001) which revealed that psychological interventions plays a significantly positive role in improving parent child relationships in all domains. The outcome of counseling session was positive indicating that adolescents feel safe to express their feelings and thoughts in interpersonal relationships specially with parents.
