Abstract

This paper looks at the value of combining an individual assessment of a child with a family assessment. It demonstrates how an individual assessment can release a child from the scapegoat role in the family. It also examines what happens when a child shows a different aspect of themselves when seen individually. The concept of projective identification is used to understand the clinical material.
