Editorial Review | "A unique, outstanding and inspiring collection of research papers in child psychotherapy." - Dr Sebastian Kraemer, Honorary Consultant, Tavistock Clinic, UK "For some time we have been aware of a need to find ways of studying the process of psychoanalytic child psychotherapy and monitoring results. This most welcome publication presents a variety of sophisticated, comprehensive and well-rounded research studies illustrating different ways of investigating this complex field. A really enlightening book!" - Anne-Marie Sandler, Psychoanalyst, British Institute of Psychoanalysis, UK "...this book is not only important in its content but also in its attitude to exploration and discovery. As such, it should not only be read by those who are interested in research but by all of us, even those who try to avoid it." - Ariel Nathanson, Infant Observation, Vol. 12, No. 2, August 2009"I highly recommend this book to clinicians who are trained in or interested in psychodynamic practice and to social science researchers interested in child psychotherapy research. This book is a diverse collection of child psychotherapy research examining clinical and methodological issues from varied perspectives. Clinicians reading this book will be reminded that competent practice involves familiarity with the existing literature, a willingness to engage in the research process, and a responsibility to contribute practice based assessment and outcome to a broader audience." - Joseph L. Smith, Clinical Socical Work, 2011 |
