Abstract: Examined the use of locus of control (LOC) assessments to monitor a specific aspect of an adolescent chemical dependency treatment program. 20 adolescents (mean age 16 yrs 3 mo) admitted to a hospital for chemical dependency were assigned to experimental and control groups. Ss in the experimental group attended 4 1-hr music therapy discussion groups. Each session consisted of listening to a recorded song, analyzing the song's lyrics, and processing the themes/values suggested by the song. Controls participated in alternate activities consisting of occupational therapy craft groups. Short-term modifications were noted in the experimental Ss' perceived LOC; no improvements were noted in the controls' perceived LOC. The significant posttreatment differences between the groups indicate that addictions counselors can successfully influence adolescent patients' perceived LOC.
