MELO, Márcia H. S.  y  SILVARES, Edwiges F. M.. Cognitive-behavioral group with families of children with lack of social skills and academic deficits. Temas psicol. [online]. 2003, vol.11, n.2, pp.122-133. ISSN 1413-389X.

For a long time the research team of the authors have cnducted studies with a common objective: to find alternative forms to help underprivileged families. The present work reports one of the studies, where the team tried to find better ways to work with 13 children with social and academic deficits, and their families. To prevent the attrition rate the families were helped massively for a short period of time throughout psychological sessions with parents and with the children at school. At the same time teachers were trained to develop an affective education program for their children. CBCLs and the teachers' TRFs were compared with the ones from the group of social validation (suitable children according to teachers as those that could spare psychological attendance). The perceptions of the parents, observers and the teachers and of the students of the first group of children were more positive after the intervention.
