Abstract
This paper describes clinical material from a group for young sexually abused children. The group work combines both an educational and dynamic approach drawn from previous models. The group was clearly structured and ran over nine weeks in conjunction with a parallel caregivers' group who were informed each week of the main themes. The caregivers were also involved in evaluating the effectiveness of the therapy by completing questionnaires which recorded symptomatology. A statistical analysis based on the questionnaires showed a significant reduction in problems reported by the caregivers before and after the group therapy. The authors recommend that such therapeutic work be combined with formal evaluation in the future to assess the effectiveness of different approaches with a view to clarifying which aspects are responsible for promoting positive change.
