title: [Sources of resistance and its overcoming in group therapy of adolescents with conduct disorder].
abstract: The author presents her experience on recognition of sources of resistance in group therapy of adolescents with conduct disorder and effective ways of its overcoming. Three categories of resistance factors have been distinguished: factors connected with a therapist/his way of understanding patients/,factors connected with psychological features associated with CD and factors connected with structure of therapy group. In accordance with the foregoing categories the author describes effective ways of reducing the resistance. In relation to factors connected with a therapist the author shows how it is possible to reinforce the patient's consciousness and motivation to therapy. The role of direct and parallel communication is emphasised. In relation to factors connected with features associated with CD, correspondence between intellectual abilities of young patients and organisation of a therapeutic session is discussed.
