Series: The Forensic Psychotherapy Monograph Series

Psychosocial Group Work with Vulnerable Children presents a simple, accessible, and preventative approach to psychotherapeutic interventions.

The authors explore how this form of group work can strengthen resilience and prevent an increase in antisocial behavioural tendencies among children. Based on a process of shared meaning communication, the book explains how professionals can help children to engage in in-group creative play and allow them to experience their self in relation to others. Castrechini-Franieck and Bittner draw on their experiences of working with children in groups, supplemented with therapeutic elements from Gestalt therapy and ontological psychoanalysis. This approach helps children to achieve a stable state of emotional well-being while improving their behaviour at school, along with their social skills.

Psychosocial Group Work with Vulnerable Children will be a key reading for psychotherapists and other professionals working with vulnerable children including psychologists, psychiatrists, and social workers.

Reviews for Psychosocial Group Work with Vulnerable Children: Eclectic Group Conductors and Creative Play

“This book offers genuine clinical engagement in the context of a solid psychoanalytic framework, providing the reader with an accessible model of treatment.” – Paul Williams, psychoanalyst; author, The Fifth Principle Trilogy (Routledge) “The uniqueness of this book lies in the introduction of a fairly accessible, experiential and preventive approach to group work with vulnerable children. It looks at ways of dealing with aggression by developing object relations with others during ongoing creative play. This approach can be widely adopted by agencies working with vulnerable children worldwide. The authors' focus on the prevention of violence, rather than the treatment of violence, plays a vital role in creating a stable environment for us all.” - Roosevelt Cassorla, Training Analyst of the Brazilian Psychoanalytic Association, Sigourney Award 2017.
