This article recognizes the development of a close same-sex friendship as a developmental task, distinguishable from general successful peer relations. It is argued that a close friendship includes the component of relational competence, which is effectively developed in interactional group psychotherapy and therefore may be a viable method to promote intimate friendships in preadolescence. The rationale for linking growth in intimate friendship with group psychotherapy is provided and supported with illustrations of the therapeutic process as well as with research data.
本文将发展亲密的同性友谊视为一项发展任务，它有别于一般的成功同伴关系。文章认为，亲密友谊包含关系能力这一要素，而关系能力在互动式团体心理治疗中能够得到有效发展，因此团体心理治疗可能是促进青春期前儿童建立亲密友谊的一种可行方法。本文阐述了将亲密友谊的发展与团体心理治疗相联系的基本原理，并通过治疗过程实例及研究数据加以佐证。
