ABSTRACT
In this chapter various phases of the psychotherapeutic process with psychotic children will be described. These will be in the sequence in which they are likely to occur when treatment is carried out in the firm containing setting described in the previous chapter. In this manner of presentation, treatment will seem to be much more easy, smooth-flowing process than it actually is. In practice, one phase overlaps with the next one, and there are set-backs in response to such events as holiday breaks or disturbing happenings at home or at school. However, in looking back over the whole course of treatment the following phases can be discerned in therapy with E.S.A. and R.S.A.(1) children.
