A psychodynamically oriented group training program for early childhood care givers
SI Greenspan, B Silver and MG Allen
A training program for enhancing the care-giving qualities of child- care
workers was developed and implemented through semistructured groups for
family day-care mothers. The authors describe the theoretical orientation,
program goals, and the outcome for trainees and trainers. Most impressive
was the group process and content, which indicated the effectiveness of
psychodynamically oriented program for care givers--people who ordinarly
would not be expected to integrate such an experience successfully.
