Psychoanalytic psychotherapy is a new development in the treatment
of people with learning disabilities and mental health problems,
traditionally handled with behavioural management and limited
counselling. The collected papers have evolved from the work of the
pioneering Learning Disabilities Service at the Tavistock Clinic.
Demonstrating the vast range of work undertaken by members of the
service, covering treatment for children, adolescents and adults,
it contains an in-depth look at life in residential settings and at
audit and research. This book is especially pertinent to those
already engaged in work with this patient-group, and will also be
of interest to general practitioners, students and also
non-specialists.The papers collected here draw on, elaborate and
further explore this centrally important tradition of bringing
psychoanalytic concepts to bear on the opaque, puzzling and painful
states of mind of the learning disabled referred for
psychotherapeutic help. These concepts are drawn from a range of
professional experience, in particular, that of insight into the
nature of early mother/infant interactions, and their special
complexities where learning disability is concerned."The various
chapters movingly and challengingly emphasise the impressive
changes that can be achieved within the general framework of
psychodynamic practice. The approach demonstrates how, through
adaptations and innovations of technique, people and institutions
can move towards a greater understanding of the almost unbearable
difficulties of this group of patients, and also of their
potentialities."-- From the Series Editor s PrefaceContributors
