Breaking the Bonds of Tradition: A Reassessment of Group Treatment of Latency-Age Children
Abstract
The authors present a new model of group therapy for latency-age children that is based on the unique psychic, physical, and social tasks of the latency phase, including cognitive growth, physical mastery, transition to the reality principle, and entry into group life. The model stresses developmental progression toward these responsibilities rather than resolution of conflict and a multifaceted form of therapy using not only peer groups but also individual, family, and environmental resources.
