ABSTRACT
This chapter describes the work of child psychotherapists. It discusses what sorts of disorders can be treated by child psychotherapy, the settings in which child psychotherapists work, and the historical development and theoretical framework which underlie the work. There is a brief description of the training undertaken and some clinical examples to give a flavour of the child psychotherapist’s approach. The wide range of consultative and supportive work offered to other professionals working with children is described.
