title: Group counseling with adolescent special education students: challenges and useful procedures.
abstract: While group counseling frequently is mandated for emotionally handicapped early adolescents, few studies have dealt with this population.

A set of methods of selecting students for group counseling is described, and group leadership and goals are presented. A series of useful therapeutic activities are also outlined.
