Abstract

This paper outlines a framework for conceptualizing the contributions that psychoanalytically-informed therapeutic professionals working within education settings can make to school staff and systems as well as to children and families. The paper combines theoretical concepts with case examples of work undertaken in different education settings, to illustrate the opportunities provided by offering a 'therapeutic presence' within schools. Examples include direct work with children and their families, as well as work with teachers and other education professionals, and include work in mainstream nursery, primary and secondary settings, as well as settings offering specialist provision.
