The results of this study have shown that group dynamics can manifest themselves in different ways, both through positive and negative expressions. Alliances, hierarchies, and shared experiences among the girls are some of the examples that the studies result presents. In particular, the results have shown that the group process has a significant impact on the staff's establishment of relationships with the girls and that this can also affect the conditions for further results of the treatment.
