United Kingdom: Learn psychotherapeutic techniques for latency-aged children and their stakeholders. CPD courses for psychologists.
In this course, Jo Hamilton draws on her extensive understanding of the latency stage to help UK practitioners work more confidently with children in middle childhood. It covers the psychoanalytic thinking behind this developmental phase, therapeutic techniques and forms of relating for latency-aged children, and the importance of attending to family dynamics and the school environment. Practitioners also consider how to hold and guide concerned parents and collaborate with educators and other therapists involved in a child's life. The course can be logged as a learning activity in an HCPC CPD record.
Working with latency-aged children can be demanding on the therapist, as there are numerous considerations to hold in mind. This includes gaining insight into the child’s internal world, exploring the influence of family dynamics and the school environment, whilst simultaneously holding and guiding concerned parents. In this talk, Jo Hamilton shares her extensive insight and understanding of this developmental phase in a succinct and practical manner.
