Preview New Discoveries in Child Psychotherapy: Findings from Qualitative Research
“What a treasure trove we have in this book. It exemplifies my belief that psychoanalysis should be viewed as the natural history approach to psychology much as Darwin's study of the natural world opened up biology. This method of work requires sustained observation and builds theory from the observed data as the writers in this volume have done, across a wide range of topics of clinical interest. I recom- mend it most warmly.” Ronald Britton, psychoanalyst and author, past President of the British Psychoanalytic Society “At a time when the need for novel interdisciplinary approaches to mental health research is increasingly recognised, this excellent book provides a compelling account of the distinctive tradition of qualitative child psychotherapy research. It is a fascinating read, offering rich insights from the frontline of children’s services.” Eilis Kennedy, Director of Research, Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust “This impressive collection of papers is testimony to the rich tradition of research into child psychotherapy undertaken at the Tavistock Clinic over the last 20 years. It will be of great interest to those working therapeutically with children, as well as those seeking inspiration regarding psychoanalytic research methods.” Nick Midgley, Associate Professor, UCL, and the Anna Freud National Centre for Children and Families NEW DISCOVERIES IN CHILD PSYCHOTHERAPY NewDiscoveriesinChildPsychotherapy presents eleven new contributions to child psychoanalytic research, most of them based on the experience of the clinical consulting room. Each chapter is the work of an experienced child psychotherap- ist or child analyst, vivid in their description of the children and families they encountered.Theirunderstandingofthe“innerworlds”ofpatientsandtheclinical consultingroomisclearlyevidencedintheiranalysisofclinicalpresentations. The chapters are the result of the psychoanalytic clinical and observational prac- ticesoftheirauthors,alliedtotheiruseofrigorousqualitativeresearchmethods,in particular Grounded Theory and interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA).

It has also adopted systemic family therapy as a theoretical model and a clin- ical approach to family problems. The Tavistock is now one of the lar- gest mental health training institutions in Britain. It teaches up to 600 students a year on postgraduate, doctoral, and qualifying courses in social work, systemic psychotherapy, psychology, psychiatry, nursing, and child, adolescent, and adult psychotherapy, along with 2,000 multi- disciplinary clinicians, social workers, and teachers attending Continu- ing Professional Development courses and conferences on psychoanalytic observation, psychoanalytic thinking, and management and leadership in a range of clinical and community settings. The Tavistock’s philosophy aims at promoting therapeutic methods in mental health. Its work is based on the clinical expertise that is also the basis of its consultancy and research activities. The aim of this Series is to make available to the reading public the clinical, theoretical, and research work that is most influential at the Tavistock. The Series sets out new approaches in the understanding and treatment of psy- chological disturbance in children, adolescents, and adults, both as individuals and in families. ix
