Originally published in 1971, this title is a comprehensive and
detailed presentation of the principles and practices of an
activity-type, experimental form of group therapy which had proved
successful with emotionally disturbed, pre-pubertal children at the
time. Mortimer Schiffer describes the clinical procedures and
rehabilitative programs that were developed, over a period of many
years, through experience of more than a hundred therapeutic play
groups. One play group, conducted in a public elementary school in
an underprivileged community of a large city, is examined from its
inception to its termination after more than three years of
meetings. Thus the reader is able to study the psycho-dynamics of a
group, and to appreciate the special meaning of the school
environment when it is used as a setting for therapeutic group
practice. As the author says, "The school is not only
advantageously situated with respect to the identification of
developmental problems in young children, but it also has great
potential for carrying out preventive and rehabilitative programs.
No other community resource - including the mental health agencies
- can match the potential of school-based programs for countering
mal-experience in the lives of children." This book will be of
interest to psychiatrists, social workers and psychologists who
work with emotionally disturbed children, and also to teachers in
special education and to other school personnel involved with
children who have adjustment problems.
