Abstract

The topic of this chapter's discussion is the psychological profile and intervention programs for the development of social skills in bilingual children. Some basic notions are going to be studied, such as “bilingual”, “monolingual”, and “bicultural”. Bilingual children have both advantages and disadvantages vis-à-vis their monolingual peers. Considering the fact that bilingual children often face socialization issues, some intervention programs are created in order to help bilingual children, overcome the “language barrier”, as well, as to enhance their self-confidence. In this context, psychotherapy is extremely useful. While there are many psychological-therapeutic currents, we decided to describe CBT, ACT and Schema Therapy interventions. Some programs often combine the basics of CBT with ACT or CBT with Schema Therapy, showing good overall results.
