Abstract

Some of the literature on the importance of peer interaction in child mental health is reviewed. A case study of spontaneous peer psychotherapy in a day care setting is described, in which a younger girl aids in the socialization of a withdrawn, older boy. Suggestions for the further study of the day care setting as a psychotherapeutic milieu are offered.
