description | Adolescence is a period of great turbulence characterized by cognitive, emotional, social and
physical changes. Family environment and role of peers is extremely crucial in the development of
an adolescent. Presenting here is a brief case of 15 year old boy who was referred for counseling by
his parents for lack of concentration in studies. In the counseling sessions with the boy and his
parents it was found that the boy was psychologically disturbed as he was teased at school by his
peers. In addition his father had an authoritarian parenting style which was adding to his troubles
resulting in low academic scores. The boy’s scores on “The Study Habits Inventory” were lower,
indicating poor study habits which includes study concentration. The counsellors used an eclectic
approach for the boy and his parents, to develop a healthy family environment, which improved his
self-esteem and study habits. |
