Psychosocial group prevention and intervention programs for children and adolescents.
Psychosocial group interventions provide a potent venue for promoting children's social competencies, self-regulation, and problem solving in a natural peer group context. Three exemplary prevention and intervention group programs were described that are empirically supported, theoretically rich, and flexible for application in residential care settings. Special considerations are offered for designing and implementing groups with this population.
