The Book Is Chiefly Concerned With Children Troubled In Their Behaviour, Relationships, And Communication. Since it was founded in 1920, the Tavistock Clinic has developed a wide range of psychotherapeutic approaches to community mental-health which have always been strongly influenced by psychoanalysis. In the last thirty years it has also developed systemic family therapy as a new theoretical model and clinical approach to family problems. The Clinic has become the largest training im3titUtion in Britain for work of this kind, providing post-graduate and qualifying courses in social work, psychology, psychiaay, child, adolescent and adult psychotherapy and, latterly, in nursing. It trains about 1200 student each year in over 45 courses. This volume ofPsychoanalysis and Psychotherapy in China continues the tradition we began last year of featuring cultural issues that confront analysts and therapists as they apply psychoanalytic thinking to their work with Chinese patients and students. Therapy and work with institutions is embedded in the civilization in which we work, so the issues facing China and its people confront us every day that we conduct therapy,consultation, and training there. This book explores the introduction of psychoanalysis, psychoanalytic therapy, and the wider application of psychoanalytic ideas into China. It also explores ideas that apply to the Chinese clinical population, and to the cultural interface between Western ideas underpinning psychoanalysis. This chapter looks at material from a period of intensive psychotherapy with a four-year-old girl who had been sexually abused and severely neglected.
