Abstract
This article describes some of the principles informing a psychoanalytically orientated approach to brief therapy with parents and under-fives. A short account is given of the history of this approach, followed by an extended clinical illustration. The advantages and limitations of the approach are discussed and some of the features that are most typical of this kind of work are described.Keywords
