Reviews

‘Freud famously described middle childhood as a ‘latency’ stage, where powerful emotions and feelings have gone underground. But as Celine Maroudas’ wonderful new book makes clear, middle childhood is a critical developmental stage with its distinct challenges and achievements; and as counsellors and therapists, we need to urgently rethink our approaches to child psychotherapy with this age-group. This book shows us that using the familiar, structured games of middle childhood is not a way to avoid the ‘true’ work of psychotherapy; but rather offers a profound window into the inner world of middle childhood, with rich therapeutic potential.’ Nick Midgley, PhD, Professor of Psychological Therapies with Children and Young People, Anna Freud / UCL, London, UK.
