Abstract

The program which was based on a pilot study (Backenroth, 1976) demonstrating an actual need for a psychological supportive program focusing on the parents, was carried out between 1976 and 1979 in different parts of Sweden: Boden, Gavle, Goteborg, Lund, Malmo and Stockholm. Altogether 76 parents constituting eleven groups participated in the program which was financed by Delegationen for Social Forskning, i.e. the Delegation for Social Research.
