Do Adolescent Rites Of Passage Still Matter
by Saleem Rana
Patrick Barrasso, who founded Balance Continuum of Treatment in Arizona, together with Molly McGinn, an expert on learning and the founder of Bloomtree Learning Communities and Treehouse Learning Communities in Arizona discussed adolescent rites of passage with Lon Woodbury on L.A. Talk Radio. Lon Woodbury, the host of Parent Choices for Struggling Teens, is the owner and founder of Woodbury Reports, Inc. He has actually consulted with family members and struggling teens since 1984.
Guest Background
Patrick Barrasso is the creator and Executive Director of In Harmony Adolescent Intensive Outpatient Program. He is also the founder of the In Balance Ranch Academy. He is a therapist with over 25 years of adolescent counseling. He focuses on helping teens and young adults overcome drug abuse and regain psychological well-being. He has presented at the U.S. Journal Training National seminars. He has also presented at FACES--Family Addiction Conferences Educational Seminars on a range of teen treatment subjects. He has talked about the enormous obstacles of overcoming adolescent drug and alcohol abuse.
Meanwhile Dr. Molly McGinn is an internationally renowned learning specialist that has actually owned her very own business as a consultant for well over 17 years. She develops and assists in the management and the administration of learning training programs for companies around the world. Dr. McGinn holds an MA and a Ph.D. from UCLA in Cultural Anthropology. She taught at the Academy of Science in Sichuan Province in China for two years, in addition to working in Tibet after the Chinese takeover. A polylinguist, she is is fluent in Mandarin, Japanese, Spanish and English.
Adolescent Rites of Passage
The interview began with Patrick explaining adolescent rites of passages as practiced by tribal cultures and how it helped young people create a distinction between childhood and adulthood. More than just a ceremony, a rite of passage demarcates change from one state to another. Essentially, it's symbolic of the death of childhood and the birth of adulthood. Rites of passages need to be unique and affirmative to leave old behaviors behind and welcome new behaviors.
Patrick explained that there were three phases. The first stage marked separation. The second phase marked crossing a limit. This was a time of considerable unrest and confusion. Finally, the third stage marked acknowledgement, a time when the brand-new maturation was accepted.
Molly explained ceremonies of initiation from her standpoint as an anthropologist. She highlighted the role of mentors to assist youth to experience the initiation rites. Because contemporary culture usually did not have seniors to initiate youths, youth often tended to launch their own rites of passages by joining street gangs.
The show concluded with the agreement that if formal adolescent rites of passages were introduced in our current culture, it would create an enormous shift for the better as youth took on a greater sense of responsibility.
