It spans a lifelong process of learning the art and science of child, adolescent and family therapy.It proposes that, through a lengthy career in child and family psychiatry, a therapist's patients contribute to, and influence, their body of knowledge and experience. In particular, there is a focus on suicidal young people and the therapeutic process that led to their successful recovery.
