#AnnaFreud
Children do not always have the language to explain what they feel or why they behave as they do. Instead, their inner world shows itself through play; in stories, symbols, roles and repetition. Within this play, the unconscious gently finds a voice.

The work of #AnnaFreud helped establish Play Therapy as a developmentally informed, relational approach, laying foundations that continue to influence modern therapeutic practice across schools, clinics, and family settings.
Play isn’t “just play” — it’s meaningful communication.

JCPP Advances | ACAMH Child Development Journal | Wiley Online Library Background There is a growing expectation that neurodivergent young people, such as those with diagnoses of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and/or autism, should play a central role ...

2024/25 was a rich year for our #AnnaFreud & @grrand-team.bsky.social teams. One of my highlights:

Our RE-STAR paper (JCPP Advances, ACAMH) set a new benchmark in inclusive research, with, not about, neurodivergent youth.

The Right Help at the Right Time How an online service is tackling mental health problems at an early stage in schools One in five young people in the UK has a probable mental health disorder. That’s around six students in every classroom. The lasting impacts of COVID-19 lockdowns, increasing poverty, climate anxiety and the rapid evolution of the digital world are just some issues reshaping young lives. This is reflected by the steady increase in children and young people in contact with mental health services, with requests for support doubling since 2018.
