  • Working with Parents in Child Psychotherapy 209
    t._ 7 Working with Parents in ~ Child Psychotherapy Engaging the Reflective Function* Arietta Slade 7 it Introduction This paper is about working with the parents of children we treat in psychotherapy or psychoanalysis. It is organized around several basic premises. The first is that virtually all child therapists work-in some way or other-with the parents of the children they treat in psychotherapy. As I will describe later, this work takes many forms, such as separate meetings with parents as an ongoing part of the treatment, direct work with the parents instead of work with the child, or inclusion of parents in the therapy sessions themselves. These are but a few of the many permutations that are typically part and parcel of this work, all of which arise in some organic way out of the process of an ongoing treatment. There is certainly no single way * This paper evolved from a presentation originally made to the Canadian Asso­ ciation for Psychoanalytic Child Therapists in association with the Toronto Child Psychoanalytic Program, on September 28, 2002. Revised versions were presented to psychoanalytic institutes in and around the New York metropoli­ tan area, including the Institute for Psychoanalytic Training and Research, the Postgraduate Center for Mental Health, the Westchester Center for the Study of Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy, and the William Alanson White Institute. I [ would like to thank the many colleagues who helped shape my thinking along the way, particularly Steve Tuber, Arnold Zinman, Phyllis Beren, Mary Target, and Peter Fonagy. \1 1 207 I I I 208 Arietta Slade of approaching this work that will be universally helpful to children and families.

Although there are different types of psychotherapy, each relies on communication as the basic tool for bringing about change in a person’s feelings and behaviour. Psychotherapy may involve an individual child, group, or family. For children and adolescents, playing, drawing, building, and pretending, as well as talking, are important ways of sharing feelings and resolving problems. Psychotherapy helps children and adolescents in a variety of ways. They receive emotional support, resolve conflicts with people, understand feelings and problems, and try out new solutions to old problems.

In recent decades, advances in attachment research have contributed to a greater understanding of how important the parent-child relationship is for a child’s well-being and subsequent years in life. This thesis explores the value of play in children’s therapy, specifically its use in dyadic play therapy as a therapeutic technique to strengthen the bond between parent and child.

  • Child Psychotherapy in the Early Years
    BRIEFING PAPER SERIES BANNER LOGO Association of Child Psychotherapists www.childpsychotherapy.org.uk BRIEFING PAPER SERIES Association of Child Psychotherapists www.childpsychotherapy.org.uk Child psychotherapy in the early years Mental health problems in infancy and the early years In infants and young children symptoms such as excessive crying, chronic soiling, prolonged difficulties with sleeping and feeding or failure to thrive may well be symptoms of emotional disturbance, as physical and emotional states are inextricably linked in the early years. Disturbance in the parent-infant relationship may be observed by professionals working with the family or verbalised by parents: some, for instance, will find their baby’s crying unbearable, others worry that they cannot love or feel close to their baby. Understanding the interrelationship between parental and infant mental health and between physical and emotional states is key to identifying and treating mental health problems in this age group. Infants rely on their caregivers to make sense of their emotional and bodily states and what is going on around them. When parents are preoccupied with their own difficulties it is harder for them to tune in to their infants’ needs. Relatively common conditions, such as depression and anxiety in the perinatal period, can reduce emotional availability and the capacity to register and respond to the baby’s communications. Without this support infants are easily overwhelmed. Some infants become very demanding and difficult to soothe, later having severe and prolonged tantrums as toddlers and pre-schoolers. Other infants become avoidant of interaction with others: sometimes an outcome of coming to expect that their needs will not readily be met.

  • Psychoanalytic Perspectives on Puberty and Adolescence
    Psychoanalytic Perspectives on Puberty and Adolescence Puberty is a time of tumultuous transition from childhood to adulthood activated by rapid physical changes, hormonal development and explosive activity of neurons. This book explores puberty through the parent-teenager relationship, as a “normal state of crisis”, lasting several years and with the teenager oscillating between childlike tendencies and their desire to become an adult. The more parents succeed in recognizing and experiencing these new challenges as an integral, ineluctable emotional transformative process, the more they can allow their children to become independent. In addition, parents who can also see this crisis as a chance for their own further development will be ultimately enriched by this painful process. They can face up to their own aging as they take leave of youth with its myriad possibilities, accepting and working through a newfound rivalry with their sexually mature children, thus experiencing a process of maturity, which in turn can set an example for their children. This book is based on rich clinical observations from international settings, unique within the field, and there is an emphasis placed by the author on the role of the body in self-awareness, identity crises and gender construction. It will be of great interest to psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, parents and carers, as well as all those interacting with adolescents in self, family and society. Gertraud Diem-Wille is Professor Emeritus at the University of Klagenfurt in the field of Psychoanalytic Education. She is a training analyst for children, adolescents and adults (IPA) and has pioneered and supported the training in psychoanalytic observational approaches to training in psychoanalytic and educational fields in Austria.

  • 1 Infant-Parent Psychotherapy in the Clinical World
    Infant-parent psychotherapy in the clinical world: An overview of principles and the range of evidence-based practices and practice-based evidence. Introduction. The practice of infant-parent psychotherapy within a team setting, serving a local high risk population, was probably one of the main starting points for the now world-wide infant mental health movement; although a psychoanalytic approach to the early development, emotional needs and treatment of infants was already widely established (e.g. Furman, 1951; Cramer, 1974; Lebovici, 1983; Mahler, Pine and Bergman, 1975; Spitz, 1951; Winnicott, 1965), building on a long history of psychoanalytic thought about infancy going back to before the second world war (see Willheim, 2013 for an overview). This form of service provision began with the pioneering work of Selma Fraiberg and her colleagues in the Child Development Project at the University of Michigan (1963-1979), where she was the professor of child psychoanalysis, having come from a long interest in applying psychodynamic thought to the development of young children (Fraiberg, 1959). In 1972 they created a psychoanalytically based service for struggling low income mothers, working in the family home rather than a clinic setting, calling it ‘kitchen sink therapy’ since from the beginning there was a hands-on element to their approach, engaging with what was happening in the moment and addressing as far as possible any negative issues in the physical as well as psychological world affecting the family. This initiative, and the clinicians trained within it, went on to form the nucleus of the Michigan Association for Infant Mental Health, which in turn led to the establishment of the international Infant Mental Health Journal and the creation of the World Association for Infant Mental Health with all its in-country subsidiaries across the world.
