Exploring Group Activity Therapy with Ethnically Diverse Adolescents
Paone, Tina R.; Malott, Krista M.; Maldonado, Jose M.
Journal of Creativity in Mental Health, v3 n3 p285-302 Oct 2008
Group activity therapy has been promoted as an effective means of providing growth opportunities for adolescents through the use of structured, developmentally appropriate activities in a group setting. This article qualitatively explores outcomes of 12 sessions of group activity therapy with ethnically diverse adolescents in a school setting. The authors replicated procedures set forth by Packman and Bratton's (2003) structured group format that included an activity, free or self-directed play time, and a snack time. Definitions and literature related to group activity therapy and its conception are included, along with multicultural considerations.
