[The Freiburg Group Intervention Program for children of separated and divorced families].

Group sessions for children from separated and divorced families are currently experiencing a boom with those responsible for private and public youth relief organizations. The aim of these sessions is to normalize separation and divorce for children, to encourage solidarity amongst them and to teach them strategies to cope with their situation early on. The authors present a group intervention program which consists of 17 group meetings, 2 evenings with parents and a prediagnostic session. Based on American curricula, it has been specially developed for educational counseling centers. Experiences regarding indication, implementation, choice of material and work with parents are presented and discussed.
