demonstrates the step-by-step process of developing the depth of understanding, creativity, knowledge and skill that underpin a modern integrative child psychotherapist. Portrayed is a flexible model that is fluid and evolving, bringing together traditional, long-held ideas with fresh perspectives and up-to-date research. In bringing together psychoanalytic theory, attachment theory, trauma theories, the arts and creativity, neuroscience and the body, a rich framework is created. From this, the individual integrative child psychotherapist can choose the interventions which best foster the emotional development of each unique child and their parents today.

ABSTRACT An earlier version of this paper was read at the Journal of Child Psychotherapy Symposium on Ethical Publishing, 2022. The question under discussion was: how can we write about our patients in a safe and respectful way, while making a contribution to the development of our field. The author describes her experience of sharing a draft paper with a young person towards the end of the treatment, with a view to submitting the paper for publication. Some thought is given to the clinical and ethical complexity of this process, and the questions that arose through the process are explored. The paper proposes that it might sometimes be possible to aim for a collaborative form of writing that involves children, young people and families in writing up their stories.

ABSTRACT The paper has a twofold aim. First, it describes the complex process of gaining consent retrospectively for the publication of clinical material after the institution, where therapy was taking place, had closed down. The clinical material was derived from the psychotherapeutic work with an autistic young boy and his family. Details of the complicated process of gaining consent to publish this material are provided. The second aim of this paper is to discuss the important role of ‘trust’ when asking or granting consent for publication of clinical material. It is argued that trust at different levels (and amongst various people) plays a pivotal role in gaining consent for publication.

ABSTRACT This paper explores the impact of kinship care upon the child, as observed through the clinical lens of child psychoanalytic psychotherapy. It acknowledges the social care and policy landscape, which retains a widely held belief that kinship care is a preferable option to foster care. In the light of this belief, the paper also draws attention to the internal and external dynamics inherent in the complexities of this arrangement as presented in the child’s psychotherapy and the parallel parent work. Clinical vignettes are used to illuminate the often unconscious, painful and confusing thoughts, feelings and fantasies experienced by both the child and the kinship parent. Psychoanalytic ideas relating to Freud’s ‘The Uncanny’ and Winnicott’s paper ‘Mirror-role of the mother and family in child development’ are used to underpin the clinical material and reflections. The paper culminates in emphasising the need for practitioners to be attentive to these dynamics, and to provide robust support for the kinship parents, in processing their kinship experience and the intergenerational traumas it may stir up.

Abstract Children in care, whose early experiences have often involved significant discontinuity and adversity, are at risk of developing insecure attachments with negative internal representations. This study aimed to explore changes in their internal representations over a one-year period, as well as potential factors that could influence them. The Story Stem Assessment Profile (SSAP) was administered at two time points twelve months apart, to 19 children between five and ten years old (M= 7.55, SD= 1.84). Using the SSAP over two time points showed that security representations significantly increased, defensive-avoidance ones decreased, whilst children with fewer previous placements had lower increases in security. The SSAP demonstrates how secure representations can be developed in new situations with more reliable caregivers, but insecure and disorganised ones might be harder and slower to modify, pointing ultimately to the importance of placement stability.

ABSTRACT Work with adoptive parents can be complex due to the multiple experiences of loss often carried by the adopted children and by the adoptive parental couple. This paper explores some of the emotional states and dynamics these experiences of loss give rise to, with a specific focus on the parental couple relationship. The case is made for the efficacy of psychotherapy with the couple, the difficulties of managing losses which can generate feelings of shame, and the projective use of blame within the couple and family as a way of evacuating unbearable emotional states. The concept of ego ideal is reviewed, and the need for adoptive couples to relinquish and mourn what is conceptualised as a shared ego ideal. The creation of a more realistic ego ideal is described as a particular aspect of the process of moving from the couple imagining themselves as birth parents, to their aspirations as an adoptive couple. Clinical material is used to illustrate how shame may manifest itself in an adopted child in psychotherapy, and in work with adoptive couples. The inevitably painful nature of mourning, and work with a couple struggling with this, is described.

ABSTRACT The paper describes a deceptive kind of autistic encapsulation, charact-erised by pseudo-internal space and distortions in the normal development of psychophysical space. It introduces the metaphor of loops as spatial-temporal organisations that illuminate three aspects of autistic encapsulation, two of which were first described by Frances Tustin. Three types of loops – simple, twisted and double-twisted – are explored. The paper delineates the double-twisted loop as an additional and more complex manifestation, typical to post-autistic organisation. Here, symbolic thinking and communication function as a disguise, obscuring the child’s trajectory on an infinite continuum that folds around itself, thus denying the potential for separateness and preventing the accumulative realisation of mental space. Using two clinical vignettes, the author shows how such a presentation leaves the therapist in danger of being tempted by the child’s pseudo-internal world, while remaining dissociated from their developmental needs.

Appreciations first: To the Journal Editors for a fascinating collection of papers about different responses to trauma, to Alexandra de Rementeria for requesting short feedback pieces in response to these papers, and to Ricky Emanuel for his quite excellent paper linking the ‘bio-psycho-social’ aspects of trauma, to which we need to attend. We all learn through experience, and Ricky is indeed honest about what he would have done now, as opposed to then . . . Emanuel dedicates his paper to the memory of the late Alan Shuttleworth. In his 2004 paper ‘A complex mixture of forces’, Shuttleworth argued that psychoanalytic theory by itself is not sufficient in order for us to be able to understand many of the complex, mixed states in children seen by our profession. He looked, for example, at the relationship of Kleinian thinking to attachment theory, and also took into account neuroscientific findings. (These are most admirably unpacked by Emanuel in his paper.) Shuttleworth argued:
首先，感谢《期刊编辑》收集了一系列关于创伤不同反应的迷人论文，感谢Alexandra de Rementeria要求对这些论文进行简短的反馈，感谢Ricky Emanuel撰写了一篇非常出色的论文，将创伤的“生物-心理-社会”方面联系起来，这是我们需要关注的。我们都是通过经验来学习的，Ricky对于他现在会做什么，而不是那时会做什么，他确实是诚实的…伊曼纽尔将他的论文献给已故的艾伦·沙特尔沃思。在他2004年的论文《复杂的力量混合》中，Shuttleworth认为，精神分析理论本身并不足以让我们能够理解我们这个专业所看到的儿童的许多复杂、混合状态。例如，他研究了克莱因思维与依恋理论的关系，并考虑了神经科学的发现。(伊曼纽尔在他的论文中对这些问题进行了最令人钦佩的阐述。)Shuttleworth说:
