A Question of Technique

A Question of Technique focuses on what actually happens in the therapy room and on

the technical decisions and pressures that are faced daily.

Coming from the Independent tradition in British psychoanalysis, the contributors, a

range of experienced practitioners and teachers, describe how their technique has quietly

changed and developed over the years, and put this process in its theoretical context.

This book will appeal to child and adolescent psychotherapists, analysts and

counsellors who wish to explore more Winnicottian approaches to therapeutic work.

Monica Lanyado is a training supervisor at the British Association of

Psychotherapists. She is co-editor with Ann Horne of The Handbook of Child and

Adolescent Psychotherapy and author of The Presence of the Therapist .

Ann Horne trained as a child and adolescent psychotherapist in the Independent

tradition at the British Association of Psychotherapists. She lectures, supervises and

teaches in the UK and abroad.

“This is a welcome and much needed book, describing how child psychotherapists

engage with troubled children, young people and their families, carers and the wider

community. The reader is offered a unique glimpse of child therapists at work, how

and what they say to their patients in the different settings in which child therapists

now work.

The contributors, most of whom trained at the British Association of

Psychotherapists—either as child and adolescent therapists or, having completed their

child training elsewhere, undertook additional BAP training in work with adults—have as

their theoretical and technical frame of reference the Independent tradition of British

psychoanalysis. The authors meticulously spell out the ‘whys and wherefores’ of

changing, extending or adapting technique to meet the therapeutic needs of those patients

who are not susceptible to more ‘orthodox’ interventions.

Of all the pioneers of child analysis, it is Winnicott whose voice resonates most clearly

throughout the book. It will surely become essential reading for teachers and trainees of

child and adolescent psychotherapy. Seasoned practitioners will find much to refresh

their thinking. It has also much to offer to other professionals working in the field of

mental health.

The editors are to be congratulated on bringing together such wide-ranging and

illuminating papers, which put the work and thinking of child psychotherapists trained

and working in the Independent tradition firmly on the map.”
