This broadens the possibilities of recovery from an antisocial diagnosis. In this study, the impact of participation in an adventure or wilderness therapy program for antisocial youth was observed. This experiment was designed to evaluate the influence of the program on the antisocial youth behavior and socio-professional status of young offenders, with a pre-test and post-test at three and six months.

development of interpersonal skills and accomplishment motivation.
