title: [Development of parent groups in inpatient psychotherapy of children].
abstract: Through its setting, group psychotherapy with parents is particularly suited to supporting the parents of children in inpatient therapy in their own therapeutic process. The conception of such groups, which must take into consideration the difficult psychological situation of the parents involved, is integrated in three goals: The care of the relationship between parents and the clinic, supporting the parents' self-esteem, and encouraging their participation in the group process. The author asserts that the method known as interactional therapy is best suited for meeting these goals. Methodological building blocks are offered, and the group process is described utilizing case examples.
