Symbiosis and identity formation in the teenager

May 17, 2018 //  by Tony White

Play therapy and the aggressive child

May 8, 2018 //  by Tony White

In my office I have a dolls house, which I use when I see children and their parents for therapy. I find it can produce valuable information about the psyche of the child. What is going on inside the child’s head at that time.

Working with the rebellious person

May 8, 2018 //  by Tony White

Listening to a person talk about how they cut self is stress producing for most people including therapists. The therapist needs to be clear they do not fall into subtly pressuring the client into making the contract due to their own anxieties.

Despair and its treatment

May 6, 2018 //  by Tony White
