The power of play, so central to psychoanalytic theory and
practice, is conjoined to the social psychological or
socio-politically coloured concept of power, giving rise to many
fruitful discussions of how these concepts manifest themselves in
clinical work with children, groups and adults. The inspiration for
this book was the 3-section EFPP conference in Copenhagen in May
2007 with the main theme "Play and Power". At the conference and in
the book, this theme is presented both inside and outside the
therapeutic space. It is amply illustrated in clinical cases from
individual psychotherapies with children and adults and from group
analysis. Most of the examples are with hateful or resigned
children and adults who have been exposed to extremely damaging or
unhelpful environments, and who demonstrate convincingly some of
the devastating consequences that abuse of power in the real world
may have. Play and power are also explored in the broader context
of the community, however.
