The purpose of this investigation is to explore the underlying processes in Adventure Education (AE) and Adventure Therapy (AT) programs in Italy (for a problematization of AE and AT sector in Italy: Gigli, Melotti & Borelli, 2020). Although worldwide extensive research has been carried out on the outcomes of these programs, little attention has been paid to the underlying processes that make them work (Davidson, 2001; Wichmann, 1991). This study aims to contribute to filling this gap, through a qualitative investigation of practitioners’ representations.

Abstract

The purpose of this investigation is to explore the underlying processes in Adventure Education (AE) and Adventure Therapy (AT) programs in Italy (for a problematization of AE and AT sector in Italy: Gigli, Melotti & Borelli, 2020). Although worldwide extensive research has been carried out on the outcomes of these programs, little attention has been paid to the underlying processes that make them work (Davidson, 2001; Wichmann, 1991). This study aims to contribute to filling this gap, through a qualitative investigation of practitioners’ representations.
