Mary Helen McElhone, Fordham University

Abstract

This study will describe the establishing and functioning of group therapy in a childcaring institution whose primary formal treatment tool, prior to 1961 had been casework. Through an investigation of the experiences of sixteen children, the study will attempt to demonstrate the need for such a program in order to more fully meet the varied needs of children in institutional care.
