Summary

This article describes a group for deprived adolescent boys referred to a child guidance unit for violent, anti-social and withdrawn behaviour in school. The referred behaviour is related to its aetiology in environmental and fragmented family conditions and the suitability of group work as providing a containing or 'holding' situation is discussed in relation to other forms of treatment available. The behaviour and role of the therapist is considered, as are the limitations of what can be achieved in provision of this kind
