ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on the special conditions of inpatient settings for delivering group psychotherapy to children and adolescents. In order to focus solely upon these special considerations without overlapping other chapters, issues of general import and content are not typically discussed. Instead, those issues unique to an inpatient setting for the treatment of children and adolescents are given the most attention. Although I primarily focus on cognitive-behavior therapy (CBT) as the orientation of clinical treatment in this chapter, I provide some references from other orientations, as they address important aspects of treatment relating to client and therapist in this setting.
