Summary:This book guides the reader through the process of creating evidence-based therapy groups for children. Introducing an interpersonal theoretical framework that maximizes the interactional and experiential learning and growth components of groups with children, this curriculum offers the child group therapist a theoretical foundation that gives structure to existing techniques and an approach that is multiculturally sensitive and grounded in brain science. A deeper understanding of the mechanisms of change that operate in children’s groups is central to the theme, including an emphasis on play and "learning by doing" through real-life clinical examples which permit readers of all levels to achieve a better understanding of how child groups function. Readers of this book will come away with a deeper understanding of the "power cell" of group therapy: Working interpersonally in the here and now, specifically with children
