“…The psychodynamic psychotherapy approach refers to the assumption that child's difficulties conceal an inherent logic to the constructing of his earliest relational experiences (Kegerreis & Midgley, 2014). This therapeutical approach was proved to be effective with children and adolescents with a variety range of mental health problems, and when compared with other approaches, its outcomes traditionally appear to be more sustained throughout the time (Midgley & Kennedy, 2011).…”

Studies about the effectiveness of psychodynamic psychotherapy interventions with children and adolescents suggest potential adverse effects of this treatment when not supported by a parallel work with parents: it seems that it could damage family functioning and affect family balances. This research aims to assess psychopathological outcomes after two years of psychodynamic psychotherapy by comparing two groups (G) of children and adolescents, related to a Childhood Adolescence Family Service: G1 – individual therapy for child/adolescent only; G2 - therapy for child/adolescent and a separate session of co-parenting support. 21 families with children aged between 6 and 17 years completed the entire treatment. The research protocol involves: Lausanne Trilogue Play, Children Behavior Check List and Family Empowerment Scale. Results show a positive effect of the treatment on the child/adolescent psychopathological profile with a significant improvement concerning the reduction of both internalizing and externalizing problems. Results show the effectiveness of the integrated intervention in the improvement of parents’ abilities to validate the children emotional state. Our results suggesting that parenting support increase parental sensitivity, helping the parents to become more able to recognize the children’s emotional state and to validate it.

“…Concurrent with individual therapy for the child, the parents or carers may be engaged in psychotherapy. Close attention is paid to contextual or environmental issues and their active modification (Harper 1995;Kegerreis 2010).…”

“…For CSA victims, the defences available to the child to deal with abuse will depend on the maturity of the child at the time of the abuse, as well as the capacity of adults to hear and act on any disclosure. In cases where there has not been suitable intervention at the time, young people are thought to exhibit psychological symptoms and inappropriate behaviour(s), as a result of a reliance on very primitive defence mechanisms (Kegerreis 2010;Lanyado 1999). The early stages of psychotherapy with sexually abused children focus on building basic trust.…”

“…In the last phases of therapy, the insights that have come about from interpretation of resistance and transference are 'worked through'. The gradual attainment of insight is seen to be a precursor of significant therapeutic change expressed with a strengthened and more mature ego functioning that is better able to cope with the demands of intrapsychic conflicts at the end of therapy (Harper 1995;Horne 1999;Kegerreis 2010).…”

IntroductionProvision of school‐ and community‐based counselling services differs in terms of funding, implementation and eligibility criteria across the UK. The existing evidence of the effectiveness of counselling services is mixed, with little consideration of service context, implementation or acceptability. This rapid review seeks to address the gaps in the extant evidence syntheses by exploring the effectiveness, implementation and acceptability of school‐ and community‐based counselling services in the UK.MethodsA systematic literature search was conducted in five electronic databases. Grey literature searches were conducted in 23 national government and third‐sector organisational websites. The searches focussed on studies examining counselling interventions aimed at children aged 7–18 years that examined either effectiveness, implementation, acceptability or context.ResultsFifty‐four studies were included in the review. The few RCT studies suggest that there is no clear evidence of effectiveness of the therapeutic approach, due to mixed findings. There is some tentative evidence for weaker study designs that counselling may have positive impacts across different settings. The service is highly valued by learners, teachers and parents and is believed to improve well‐being; however, it is often seen as a discrete service that is not well‐embedded within the education system.ConclusionsThere is mixed evidence for the effectiveness of school‐ and community‐based counselling. However, this needs to be understood in the context of acceptability and implementation. Future work is needed to improve the implementation of services by considering the wider complexity of the systems in which these services are embedded.
