Donald Winnicott's contribution to our understanding of psychological development, from infancy to maturity cannot be underestimated. As both a paediatrician and psychoanalyst, he used his experience from each discipline to inform his work with children and their families. This webinar focuses on Winnicott's Object Relations Theory and explores the concepts of: Holding Environment, Good Enough Mother, True/False Self and the Transitional Object, exploring how they relate to our work in the therapy room.

Sociologist Mildred Parton identified six stages of play, making an important contribution to Child Development and our understanding of how children learn to relate to others. In this Refresher Session, Karen & Tara consider how Parten’s work offers therapists an additional lens to case conceptualise and how her concept offer up a framework to help consider when non-directive and directive approaches may be appropriate. They discuss regression in the therapy and look at how trauma and attachment impacts the way children play.
