Since they are emotionally unstable, they sometimes attack their friends and are unstable in their relationship with others. Also, they do not trust others.  
  This projecfs purpose is to study the effectiveness of group counseling for the children of dysfunctional families that face the problems mentioned above. The researcher educated the children in the dysfunctional family to correct the distorted communication, low self-esteem, unstable expression of their emotion, trust, and wrong view of God, which are considered as the causes of dysfunctional family. The researcher watched carefully how the participants developed in their understanding of other people in their family and the church.
