Why the Guide was developed?

Dr. Sylvia Stultz developed the Guide as a result of her frustrations in organizing psychotherapy groups for children. It was sometimes difficult to enroll enough children in order to make a strong group, and yet there was an awareness that there were parents, in close proximity, searching for this type of service. Just as often, she needed to find a group for a single child, but knew of nowhere to to refer the family. She discovered that her colleagues were having the same experiences and thus began an exchange information about groups. Gradually, the Guide developed into its current forms which aims to help therapists cross-refer as well as provide information to other professionals. Additionally, it has become a valuable source for families seeking therapy groups.
