Child Group Psychotherapy: Future Tense

Abstract

Because there are surprisingly few textbooks in child group psychotherapy, this work, edited by Albert E. Riester and Irvin A. Kraft, is a
most welcome addition to the literature.
This very thorough text, although focused on the future, begins with a history of child psychotherapy, written by the editors, followed by a reprint of Slavson's 1945 article, "Differential Methods of Group Therapy in Relation to Age." Slavson noted that "association with groups must be recognized as a prime experience for life in our culture" (p. 11).
