The Exploring Together Outdoors Program is an Australian program that integrates family therapy interventions with adventure therapy, providing an opportunity for mother/child dyads that have conflictual relationships to develop more positive connections. This paper focuses on a group of four mothers and their four daughters who participated in 2 adventure therapy weekends and a family day 1 year later. A description of program activities focuses on the changed context of mother-child interaction, support and influence of the group, and creation by mother-daughter pairs of more positive narratives about each other. Questionnaires about changed perceptions of competence in self and other, and changed relationships within the mother-child dyad were completed after each occasion. All parties reported important changes in how they saw themselves and the other family member: these changes included more positive feelings for each other, less conflict, more communication, a greater sense of physical competence, and increased personal confidence. These results are discussed in terms of blending certain family therapy practices with adventure therapy, which triggers thoughts about aspects of life quite different from everyday matters, and promotes quite different perspectives from which to view one's parent, one's child, or oneself. Nine tables present comparisons of the mothers' and daughters' responses to nine questions. Appendices include additional tables of responses. (Contains 22 references.) (TD)
