This paper describes the Hammersmith & Fulham (H&F) Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) Child Psychotherapy Service (CPS) that was established at Randolph Beresford Early Year Centre (RBEYC) in 2008. It presents the results of an audit and evaluation of the CPS. We used a Goal Based Outcome (GBO) measure to evaluate service-users’ (parents’ and caregivers’) perceptions of progress toward treatment goals, and structured interviews with eight caregivers and ten staff members to explore their views of the CPS. Thematic analysis was used to summarise these views. GBO ratings indicated that all caregivers felt they had made progress towards reaching treatment goals by the end of the intervention. Interview responses suggest that all caregivers and staff perceived the CPS positively and thought that the RBEYC was successful in nurturing the child’s overall development. The quality of relationships between staff, service-users and the CPS was perceived as central to the facilitative environment of the RBEYC. In particular, the psychotherapist was viewed as playing a critical role in facilitating this triangle of relationships supporting the child.","PeriodicalId":38553,"journal":{"name":"Infant Observation","volume":"21 1","pages":"152 - 170"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13698036.2018.1553684","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43229948","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The authors describe their experience of developing a pilot five day foundation course in Work Discussion Group facilitation with participants who were unfamiliar with the Work Discussion Group model. The paper describes the thinking behind the training, its central elements and the emphasis on learning from experience as student participants became familiar with being Work Discussion Group members, presenters and, later, to trying out the role of facilitator. The authors draw on their experience of running these training programmes, and of leading work discussion seminars themselves to illustrate how opportunities to take up the facilitation task, with support and consultation from the two course leaders, enabled participants to consolidate their understanding of work discussion itself as well as of the task of the facilitator. This task is particularly important in terms of containing the group and keeping it on task, while taking note of unconscious processes and powerful projections of anxiety and inadequacy which dominate in early presentations of oneself in a work interaction. Despite the authors’ reservations about what would be possible in such a course, especially given its brief nature and the limited experience of many participants, the outcomes indicate that the course had a powerful and transformational impact on many; some went on to introduce work discussion into their own work settings, and to research it.","PeriodicalId":38553,"journal":{"name":"Infant Observation","volume":"21 1","pages":"241 - 260"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13698036.2018.1559075","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44773613","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sussex, UK) Work Discussion is a method of learning, teaching and research developed at the Tavistock Clinic in London from 1967. It was initially an application of psychoanalytic infant observation, giving participants opportunities to reflect on situations at work at which they are active participants, as well as attentive observers. This form of learning now has a significant presence in many locations for psychoanalytically-based learning, for example in Austria, Italy, France, Argentina, Taiwan, China and Britain. It is a practice which invites reflection on the meaning of interactions in a variety of work settings, including teaching and education, early years’ provision, nursing, mental health care, youth and community work, social work and the creative therapies. Two symposia of papers were given at the first ‘International Conference on Work Discussion’ in Vienna appear in this and the following issue of Infant Observation. Further publications are expected to arise from the proceedings of this conference and of the Second Conference in June 2019. The second ‘International Conference on Work Discussion’ – entitled ‘Unconscious Meanings in the Workplace’ – is to take place from 14–16 June 2019 in the Conference Centre, University of Sussex (Falmer, Brighton). It will follow the Vienna precedent in arranging Work Discussion Seminars as part of its programme. Reports will be presented to small seminar groups and discussed by facilitators, presenters, and members.

We begin with a paper written by Alejandra Perez and her colleagues at the Anna Freud Centre who have researched mothers’ motivation and experiences of being observed this is one of the first systematic studies of this topic. All the mothers had agreed to be observed by postgradate students from the Centre who were asked to observe a new-born infant at home. It is fascinating to discover the complexity of the mothers’ responses. While some clearly felt that they had developed a greater capacity to reflect and to observe themselves, their babies and their relationship, others felt scrutinised, and under pressure to perform. This latter point seems to confirm some of Annette Watillon’s (2008) findings that a number of mothers felt criticised or persecuted by their observer. Another interesting point is that some of the mothers stated that they had agreed to having an observer, because, as professionals themselves, they felt that they wanted to support the observers so that they could fulfil the requirements of their course. It would be valuable if further studies could be done, in order to understand more of why parents agree to have an observer in their home weekly, for one or two years. It is important for those who teach infant observation to remain thoughtful about how they seek parents’ agreement and about the possibility that some parents could be very sensitive to what they imagine their observer thinks about them. The sample in this research is relatively small and almost all the mothers were professionals. This is not the case in all institutions where the parents who agree to having an observer may be from more ethnically and socio-economically diverse backgrounds, as are the observers. Perez and her colleagues have opened up the subject to a new generation of teachers and observers and we hope the paper might elicit considerable interest. Inge Martine Pretorius and her colleagues have followed up an earlier paper published in this journal with a second in which Goal-Based Outcome Measures have been used to evaluate service-users’ (parents’ and caregivers’) perceptions of progress toward treatment goals. Structured interviews were also carried out with eight caregivers and ten staffmembers at an Early Years Centre in West London with excellent results. The quality of relationships between staff, service-users and the Child Psychotherapy Service was perceived as central to the facilitative environment of the Early Years Centre and in particular, the child psychotherapist was viewed as playing a critical role in facilitating this triangle of relationships supporting the child.

This study aims to explore mothers’ motivations and experiences of being observed, in order to help inform ethical considerations, both around the practice of observation and the possible needs of mothers being observed. Twelve mothers were interviewed, all of whom had been observed as part of the Anna Freud National Centre for Children and Families postgraduate courses. A qualitative Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis of the interviews revealed the complexity of mothers’ interests and of their feelings towards the observers, as well as the mixed and emotionally intense experience of being observed during early motherhood. For some mothers, this experience led to an increased capacity to reflect, helping them to observe themselves, their babies and their relationship with them. However, some mothers described a different experience, in which they felt constantly scrutinized, and found themselves performing for the observer in a way that felt unnatural. The findings are discussed in relation to psychoanalytic theories of early motherhood. This paper concludes by considering their implications for the practice of parent-infant observations.","PeriodicalId":38553,"journal":{"name":"Infant Observation","volume":"21 1","pages":"129 - 151"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13698036.2018.1523036","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41763077","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
