Description
The Fitzjohn's Unit: A Psychoanalytic Approach to Complex Needs This book provides an in-depth look at the work of the Fitzjohn's Unit, a unique therapeutic setting that has been pioneering a distinctive approach to treating patients with complex needs. Founded over 90 years ago, the Tavistock Clinic has developed a range of developmental approaches to mental health, heavily influenced by psychoanalytic theory. Tracing the development of this innovative approach over its 17-year history, the book offers a clear insight into the collective commitment and expertise that underpins the Fitzjohn's Unit. With approximately 60 patients in care at any given time, this volume presents a comprehensive overview of the work being done to support individuals with complex needs. Through its clinically-based descriptions, this book provides valuable insights into the psychoanalytic approach used by the Fitzjohn's Unit.
