Abstract: 

By definition, group psychotherapy involves the treatment of a number of children in groups by a therapist or co-therapists.

The latter distinction is not necessarily a clear cut one and a rather simplistic view would be that while behavioural psychotherapy is more geared to helping children towards a deeper understanding of their own behaviour. In this paper we address ourselves to the psychodynamic approach.
