Research summary
Can a method of working therapeutically with parents and children (under the age of five) be made use of in a Child and Adolescent Mental Health team, in which this kind of work does not regularly take place? I aim to find out whether this model of brief working can be helpful to the children and their families and to look at how this method was received by the team. \n\nIt is hoped that by working with the parents and child together, the families will be able to think about both the child’s presenting difficulty, but also the relationship between the parents and their child and how the parents’ own experiences and difficulties might impact on the present situation. \n
