Child and Adolescent Inpatient Psychiatric Units are resources for the treatment of acute psychopathological decompensation. Their main objectives are the global care and the stabilization of the patient. Psychotherapeutic interventions in this specific context, as well as the characteristics of the child and adolescent population, have certain particularities that should be addressed in order to maximize the psychotherapeutic effects of the intervention during hospital admission. This paper describes the experience of a group psychotherapeutic intervention in the Adolescent Inpatient Psychiatric Unit of Puerta de Hierro-Majadahonda University Hospital (Madrid). The characteristics of the intervention model, based both on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Functional Analytic Psychotherapy, are described throughout this manuscript. Additionally, its integration with other activities of the Unit is detailed. Potential difficulties during the intervention, as well as main dynamics and challenges when working with adolescents in this specific context, are also presented.

Palabras clave : adolescent; inpatient care units; group psychotherapy; Functional Analytic Therapy; Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
