Group Interventions for Children and Adolescents with Emotional Problems: A Review of The Literature
Journal Title: INDIAN JOURNAL OF MENTAL HEALTH - Year 2019, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Group interventions play an important role in therapeutic programs with children and adolescents with emotional problems or disorders, which have high rates of comorbidity and can persist into adulthood. The aim of this study was to review literature in the area of group interventions for children and adolescents, particularly with regard to emotional problems. Relevant studies were reviewed with regard to methodology, findings and implications. Gaps in existing literature, particularly within the Indian context, have been highlighted. Recent literature trends towards the use of brief closed group interventions, the use of transdiagnostic protocols, and varying levels of parental involvement. The implications of carrying out group interventions in various settings have been described.
