Psychotherapeutic Experiences with Chronically Ill Children and Their Parents

Beata Nagy

Objectives: By establishing parent’s groups we could reduce social exclusion of people taking care of children and young adults with special needs and their feeling of being emotionally abandoned, so as they could find support to manage their unresolved tenseness. Methods: The group could serve as a basis for comparison in which anyone and everyone can compare his own decision with others’ experience, reactions and expectations. It will result in strengthening their ability to fight for their children’s interest after a while. Content of psychotherapy teams were analyzed. We need to learn how to encourage parent being alone with their sorrow and discomfort, and how to make them more active. Results: In order to achieve the above developing, treatment and training team must develop its approach. Parents should be accepted as partner, not only some “accessory” and in the interest of the child’s development we must collaborate with them. Integrated service of children with special needs must be established at all levels of institutional education, and we should support similar initiatives with care providers, professionals and developmental tools. Conclusion: To summarize the above we could say that parents’ groups of mutually collaborating, selfsupporting members are extraordinarily useful and effective in helping parents in their everyday lives. It serves as an emotional and practical support, safety; friends in joy and companion in trouble. Its training and forming power is enormous, its impact is far over the individual level, personal life, as it could grow into a power of social reform in acceptance, tolerance. We really in need of this so as we could dose up to Europe in the field of caring and education of children with special needs.
