Winnicott s description of "doing something else" or "working as
a psychoanalyst" when not engaged in the actual analysis of his
patients resonates with the child psychotherapist today. Individual
psychotherapy is certainly a valuable part of the work but much of
the time the CPT is "doing something appropriate to the occasion."
Some of this time is spent in assessment work for therapy, for the
multi-professional team and for other agencies and some in
consultation to colleagues and other professional staff or in a
combination of the two.
Drawing from the Independent tradition in psychoanalysis,
Through Assessment to Consultation explores the application of
psychoanalytic thinking to this daily work, reflecting on what is
actually done and why. Contributors to the three sections
Assessment, Overlaps, Consultation and Beyond provide a variety of
clinical illustrations as they describe a range of approaches and
settings in the tasks of both assessment and consultation, ranging
from the light impact of the analyst s presence in the grief of
post-9/11 New York to the call to political potency of beyond
consultation.
This book will help both new and experienced Child and
Adolescent Psychotherapists re-examine their role and function in
the team and in the outside world, and will also be of interest to
specialist health workers, educational psychologists and those
wanting to explore more Winnicottian approaches to therapeutic
work.
