Abstract :

<p> From Perks Matriculation Higher Secondary School, Uppilipalayam, Coimbatore, out of 127 students, 74 students with personal problems as identified from Mooney Checklist and differences in perception of parental bonding were selected as the sample for the study. The sample consisted of 38 male and 36 female students. The intervention of Gestalt therapy was administered to the sample for 8 sessions. After 15 days the participants were reassessed using Parental Bonding Instrument and Mooney Problem Checklist. The data was analyzed using t–test and chi–square analyses. The results revealed that most parents have similar parenting style and there is a significant gender difference between the parental bonding of the father and mother. The adolescents have more problems regarding self improvement, which includes self worth and self–esteem. There are variations in the nature of problems of the adolescents. The intervention of Gestalt Therapy has helped in increasing the mean perceived maternal care from 25.07 to 28.34, and mean perceived paternal care from 24.00 to 25.71 and has decreased mean perceived maternal protection from 17.27 to 14.55, paternal protection from 16.07 to 14.88. Problems of adolescents in the areas of health, self improvement, personality and home and family indicate the decrease in the problem areas, as is observed from the significant ‘t’ values of 4.26, 7.40, 6.39, 4.38 respectively.</p>
