Abstract
This paper describes a model of group therapy with latency-age boys 9 through 12 years old. Usually parents and families are involved in family therapy while a boy is in group therapy. The model described here is appropriate for outpatient or inpatient treatment and has been used extensively by the author in a variety of settings.
