read moreFor child or adolescent therapy to be effective, it should provide structured, goal-directed activities but at the same time, allowing the child to bring spontaneous material to the sessions. This spontaneous material is more important than the stuctured, as it brings to the therapy a part of the child that I need to see to really know him/her. Too much structure or direction would miss the comments and actions that show me the childs beliefs and behaviors. On the other hand, some structure and direction is necessary to teach adaptive coping skills.
