MODERN DEVELOPMENTS IN CHILD ANALYSIS - Robin Anderson

CLINICAL / THEORETICAL SEMINAR

No. of sessions: 5
Time: 8.15pm – 9.45pm
Day: Tuesday
Dates: September 21, 28, October 5, 12, 19

These seminars will have a clinical focus and members will be asked to bring clinical material of psychoanalytic work with children or adolescents. I will particularly focus on the way modern Post Kleinian thinking has led to a different way of applying Melanie Klein’s original descriptions of the Play Technique, including such developments as Bion and Rosenfeld’s work on the use of projective identification, Joseph’s work on the ‘Total Transference Situation’ and her ideas of the micro movements of the transference/counter transference within the unfolding of sessions. In the light of these and other ideas I want to think about the way our technique may have changed, of how we think of children’s play and how we respond to it in order to allow the child to best communicate with us and of how we interpret to children.

I believe that child analysis still has something to contribute to adult psychoanalytic thinking and I hope that we can also think about how in the context of the clinical experiences we will be looking at, to think of what it might tell us of work in the quieter more restrained setting of the adult consulting room.

ROBIN ANDERSON is a training analyst in adult, child and adolescent analysis at the British Psychoanalytical Society. He was a consultant child and adolescent psychiatrist and head of the Adolescent Department of the Tavistock Clinic until 2003. He now concentrates on teaching and working in private psychoanalytic practice.

He has published papers on both child and adolescent, and adult psychoanalysis and psychotherapy, numerous book chapters and has edited and contributed to two books, Clinical Lectures on Klein and Bion and Facing it Out: Clinical Perspectives on Adolescent Disturbance with Anna Dartington. He has particular interest in early object relations and the way in which they manifest themselves in later life especially during adolescence. More recently he has returned to further work and thinking about Child Analysis. He has an interest in the way in which psychoanalytic work with children contributes to and informs adult analytic technique.
