    This paper, the second of a two‐part series, examines the interplay of social, psychodynamic and developmental factors in the etiology of psychosocial dysfunction among a particular population of single teenage mothers. It also presents a model of expressively oriented, long term group intervention for mothers and children, which systematically addresses both environmental and developmental issues. The results of this project suggest that develop…
