Three years ago the director of a clinic started a therapeutic group for boys between ages twelve and sixteen, all delinquent or unable to stay in foster homes. Eight to twelve of these boys met for activity for two hours once a week, joining or leaving the group as circumstances dictated. The members were so destructive and sought attention in such provocative fashion that additional therapists were added to set effective limits to play. At first accepted as extensions of the senior therapists, the assistants soon offered support and a wider range of adult behavior to which the boys could react. The presence of multiple therapists in such a group is essential, but any differences between them must be worked out before they can work effectively together.
