The research aimed two samples of teenagers and one of parents from the western part of Romania. The instruments applied aimed concepts such as: self-esteem, problem solving, irrational values, social support, satisfaction with life etc. We indicate that during the first six weeks, the teenagers with behaviour problems modified the way in which they perceived problems solving and decisions making but also the trust in their own ability to solve problems. After counselling we registered the decrease of semeiology and the increase of the trust in their own abilities to solve problems, the embracement of problems approach style also by the development of personal control. The involvement of parents in the counselling indicates a modification in the perception of behaviour problems, and the therapeutic techniques used confirm the efficiency of the counselling mainly by a better management of the conflicts.
