The 46th International Psychoanalytic Child Psychotherapy Colloquium

About this event

Please join us for this year's 46th International Psychoanalytic Child Psychotherapy Colloquium.

Effective assessment and case formulation helps children, young people and their families better understand themselves and the factors contributing to their difficulties, and support clinicians to effectively collaborate, plan for and review treatments.

The colloquium aims to bring together clinicians, researchers, academics and experts by experience to consider - what makes for a collaborative assessment and case formulation process

Presentations will build on Anna Freud’s seminal concepts of developmental lines and the Diagnostic Profile as frameworks for assessing and studying a child’s development and will link these to current tools and contemporary frameworks such as The Psychodynamic Diagnostic Manual (PDM). Particular attention will be paid to how clinicians and families can co-create areas of focus for treatment guiding the work and supporting a child or young person’s agency and decision making.

The programme will include a mix of research, theoretical and in-depth clinical presentations providing an opportunity to think together. Further details to follow.
