Children of an addictive parent generally suffer from negative repercussions and constitute "a population at risk," in need of special therapeutic intervention. This article explores the difficulties confronting these children and the group intervention for children aged 8–11, lasting 18 months as a therapeutic intervention to help them. The description includes the group intervention framework, the expressive and non-verbal techniques used, and the rationale as well as the theoretical basis for using these techniques. The unique contribution of this article lies in the demonstration of using expressive group therapy and particularly of non-verbal techniques with children of addicted parents, with abundant examples stemming from the topics dealt with by the group.
