    • Psychoanalytical therapy is performed by a specially trained doctor, psychologist, or clinical social worker.

  • When it comes to treating children we have to change our approach slightly
  • Most children are in the process of shaping their inner-conflict
  • Most children and young adults also don’t have the same capability to reflect, making the comparison between past and present difficult.
  • Psychodynamic therapy with children is all about relationship building
  • Most children coming to therapy come from weak-relationships with parents 
  • In psychodynamic therapy we offer children the ability to establish a secure attachment to an adult
  • trust is established by meeting the child on an emotional level
  • Typically in sessions with kids they do not know how to begin those hard conversations 
  • Therapist have the difficult task of dragging the information out of the child patient
