ABSTRACT
Group therapy with children and adolescents is widely practiced with various populations and for diverse problems, in schools, community agencies, and private practices, and usually appears to be effective (Barlow, 2014; Falco & Bauman, 2014; Shechtman, 2014). However, there are different types of therapy groups, both in theory and in practice. Most child group therapy entails psychoeducational, preventive, short-term interventions of a cognitive-behavioral orientation (Kazdin, 2007). Psychotherapy process groups are less common with young clients, and there is little research on such groups. It is this latter type of therapy group that will be the focus of the current chapter.
