PROBLEMS AND APPROACHES IN CHILD GROUP PSYCHOTHERAPY IN A PUBLIC SCHOOL MILIEU

Abstract

The feasibility of group psychotherapy in an academic environmentespecially with teen-age children-is a relatively unknown and primordial experience. While the concept of group counseling and/or guidance has received more than superficial attention, still less is known of the relative merits, problems, and issues involved in the applicability of the group psychotherapy process within a public school setting. While Moreno did much pioneering work with children, especially via psychodrama, group work with school children in a school setting per se is a comparatively rare and recent venture. (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
