ABSTRACT
The psychodynamic approach enables us to understand that human relationships are complex, and that there is rarely a neat ending to a problem, particularly where people have experienced trauma and challenges in their early lives. This implies that children, parents and young people may return for therapeutic help at a later stage, since some of these problems may not be fully resolved. As mentioned earlier, this is always a sign that the earlier therapy has been a success, and never that it has been a failure. In fact, the speed, with which people pick up the therapeutic process when they return, is in itself evidence of success and resonates with the earlier foundational work that has taken place.
