The effectiveness of a counseling program based on violence alternatives in reducing the psychopathic tendency among the adolescents in the old city of Hebron

A counseling program based on violence alternatives significantly reduced psychopathic tendencies among adolescents in Hebron's Old Town, according to a study published in the An-Najah University Journal for Research - B (Humanities). The research, involving 100 adolescents randomly divided into experimental and control groups, demonstrated that the experimental group showed statistically significant improvements post-intervention compared to pretest scores. No differences were observed based on gender, academic performance, or economic status. The findings underscore the potential of violence alternatives in mitigating adolescent psychopathy, offering a practical approach for intervention programs in conflict-affected areas.
