title: Dialysis and transplantation: a mothers' group.
abstract: Two social workers are helping mothers of transplant and dialysis patients to deal with the multiple reality and feeling problems posed by the unique situations encountered in the parenting of children with end-stage renal disease. The commonality of these problems indicated a group approach. The mothers' natural grouping was formalized into an effective supportive, educational, and helping experience.
