With statutory CAMHS services often heavily oversubscribed, and school and college services mainly offering brief therapeutic interventions, parents are increasingly turning to private practitioners for therapy for their children when they need expert emotional or psychological support. Working privately with children and families can be a rewarding experience for counsellors and psychotherapists but it can also be fraught with concerns for both practitioners and families alike. These concerns can seem so daunting that therapists with clinical experience of therapy with children continue to limit themselves to working only in education or statutory settings. This book offers comprehensive guidance to both experienced and novice counsellors to assist them in the process of setting up or adapting their private practice to include children and young people. It coherently and systematically addresses the obstacles which stand in the way of practitioners offering this important service effectively and ethically. The book is divided into four parts and uses case material to bring to life the areas covered by each chapter.

Erotically Queer is a practice guide for clinicians, bringing together experts in their field with pioneering topics within GSRD (gender, sex and relationship diversity). Chapters cover an array of topics rarely discussed in either clinical or popular literature including lesbian sex, queer menopause, bisexuality, working with shame, the sex lives of asexuals, sexuality and transgender people, treating anodyspareunia, compulsive sexual behaviours and chemsex. It also helps practitioners reflect on their biases regarding BDSM/kink and understand more regarding non-pathologising practices with intersex people. The book aims to help all clinicians work more effectively with the Queer population, with the most contemporary sexological knowledge.

Les centres médico-psychopédagogiques (CMPP) rencontrent quotidiennement 200 000 enfants et adolescents en difficulté qui viennent consulter avec leurs familles dans les 310 structures implantées en France. Ils sont en première ligne pour observer les profondes mutations des représentations sociales de l'enfance et de l'adolescence, l'évolution des définitions du symptôme et du handicap, l'explosion des catégorisations et de la fièvre diagnostique, la déstructuration des rapports sociaux et familiaux, l'effet des nouvelles orientations politiques... Prises entre réalités cliniques et logiques administratives, comment les équipes pluridisciplinaires des CMPP travaillent-elles ? Peuvent-elles encore offrir aux enfants des espaces de liberté où vivre leur enfance et avancer à leur rythme ? Dans leurs pratiques multiples, est-il toujours possible de parler d'exploration, de découverte et d'invention, et non de stratégies standards, des programmes, des protocoles et des « bonnes pratiques » consensuelles ? Peut-on se laisser enseigner par la rencontre avec l'enfant ? Les auteurs, réunis ici par la fédération nationale des CMPP, insistent sur la nécessité d'instaurer des lieux de parole, des espace-temps pour accueillir, élaborer, résister aux interprétations hâtives et aux passages à l'acte. Ils invitent à cultiver un langage poétique ancré dans la vie, dans l'invention partagée et l'expérience éthique, « pour être un sujet par qui les autres sont sujets ».

The couple relationship is at the centre of this book. The complex nature of the couple attachment is emphasized, drawing both on psychoanalytic concepts and on attachment theory. The chapters aim to integrate theory with practice and can be seen, both separately and together, as offering new insights into the intricate web of psychic fantasies, shared unconscious anxieties and external realities that shape the attachment between the couple. The book is divided into four sections. The first focuses on ways in which the couple identity is shaped, perceived and presented. It does this through looking at how images of the couple are formed by the couple itself, the therapist, the artist, the writer and society at large. The following section explores the impact of some of the developmental challenges that couples may encounter as part of family life, such as dealing with adolescent children, the childless older couple, and managing sibling relationships.
