“…Research suggests that a wide variety of psychotherapeutic approaches are being considered and utilised by EPs in school settings. These include: CBT (Greig, 2007; Squires, 2010); eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR) (Grandison, 2007); human givens therapy (Yates and Atkinson, 2011); motivational interviewing (MI) (Atkinson and Woods, 2003); personal construct counselling (Truneckova and Viney, 2006); solution focused brief therapy (SFBT) (Young and Holdore, 2003); and therapeutic stories (Pomerantz, 2007). Therapeutic interventions are also being implemented to support particular groups of young people.…”

This article considers the evolving role of the educational psychologist (EP) in providing therapeutic support to children and young people. Through two small-scale research studies, EPs' use of therapeutic interventions and issues in delivering them are explored. Findings reveal use of a range of therapeutic interventions in different contexts with schools and multi-agency partners. Issues relate to opportunities to practise therapeutic interventions due to competing pressures, access to supervision and perceptions of the EP role. Themes emerging from the studies are explored systematically using a SWOT framework to identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats to EPs' use of therapeutic interventions. It is hoped that a forthcoming UK-wide study into EPs' use of therapy will provide a more sophisticated picture about some of the issues raised in this article.s ufl_1496 160..167

This paper describes a style of weekly group therapy offered in a city CAMHS department for adolescent girls who are depressed and selfharming. Research has found that such girls typically have other psychological problems, such as anger, anxiety, low self-esteem, poor school performance, grief reactions and poor school attendance. This paper describes a group based upon Personal Construct Theory (Kelly, 1955) which addresses the management of symptoms and the problems underlying them. It takes into account each girl's unique history and her personal priorities, and group sessions aim to encourage each individual to understand and address their own difficulties. The group is open, has no set number of sessions to attend, and has no set week-by-week curriculum. Instead, it takes the individual's personal construction of their difficulties and works with it through the principles and techniques of Personal Construct Therapy. The group has been well-attended and has a positive atmosphere in sessions with the emphasis upon each individual taking responsibility for her own progress inside and outside the group. This paper will describe the principles and practice that are used in the group and the need for further research into the efficacy of this therapeutic treatment is highlighted.
