Description

A group play therapy intervention delivered to orphaned children aged 6–10 in an orphanage setting, carried out "for the treatment group during 10 sessions". The article describes play as "a structured and treatment theory-based approach, which lay the foundations for learning processes and natural and normal children's relationships". Outcomes were measured with the SSRS teacher form and RADQ before, immediately after, and two months after the programme.
