“…With the increased recognition of emotional problems in children and adolescents, there has been an increase in the number of specialized units for inpatient psychiatric treatment of this population (Elliott, Stein, & McKeough, 1980). Madow (1988) recently enumerated the problems involved in treating adolescents in an inpatient setting, including those of time limitations and patient type. It is possible that patient type, which encompasses severity of psychopathology and family issues, may influence or even determine the time required for adequate treatment in the hospital.…”

Among 375 children and adolescents admitted to a psychiatric hospital inpatient unit, the proportion of adopted children was considerably higher than that of a general pediatric population or of census figures, and the majority of nonadoptees were from disrupted homes. Based on a review of case records, adoption and family disruptions appear to increase significantly the length of hospitalization and to shift diagnoses toward behavioral disturbances. Implications for prevention and treatment are considered.

This article provides the therapist with a three-factor framework for understanding and constructively responding to members' termination in the inpatient group. The first factor is the context in which the inpatient group takes place. It will be argued that how the broader system defines and treats termination affects the group process at the time of termination. The second factor is the therapist's countertransference. Three especially common reactions (disappointment, abandonment anxiety, and powerlessness) will be described. The third factor is the characteristic need of inpatients at termination time. Each factor is described in terms of its potential impact on the termination process. Techniques and suggestions are offered that aim to mitigate the destructive forces of each factor and to enhance the therapeutic value of the termination event for the patient.
