ABSTRACT
The social workers, educators, child psychiatrists, and the psychologist were tasked with assessing the child's psychosocial status. It was after examination of the family and the child that the so-called "synthesis" would take place. The specialists spoke together about the case as a whole, determined the diagnosis, and made a proposal as to the procedure to be followed to the Children's Court judge. A couple of psychodramatists start out the work with an initial session where each parent plays with his own child in a twosome, and at a given moment in the play, parent and child switch roles. The Consultancy in the Hungarian town of Zalaegerszeg brings together hyperactive children with their parents in joint psychodramatic plays. In other groups, joint psychodrama is organized on an occasional basis with particular parents. In Hungary, as in most European nations, therapies take place of time in the context of Institutions, Consultancies, preschools, and social welfare establishments, and upon external request.
