Children are born into a social context that they did not choose. From earliest childhood, it is made up of diverse group experiences that have a decisive influence on a person's social life and desire to learn. This makes the group context an ideal setting for therapeutic and educational work, especially with children and young people. This volume gives numerous practical suggestions on how the group can be used as a helpful and supportive medium, e.g. B. in parent-infant/toddler groups, parent/relationship groups, groups with children or young people as well as in preventive group work at school. The contributions open up insights into the diversity and complexity of conceptual, group-analytical work with groups of children, young people and parents and show how this work can be successful on an outpatient basis, in the clinic, in youth welfare, in counseling centers or in school. The combination of basic and applied knowledge makes the anthology an indispensable reference work for every practitioner.
