Abstract

This paper documents the development of a new approach to child and adolescent centered psychotherapeutic work in groups and with individuals. The work is with young survivors of political violence who all suffer from the problematic and troubling impact on them of violence, scapegoating, separation, loss and the many changes in their external and internal worlds during their developmental years.
