LCCH Masterclasses

This Masterclass has been developed in response to the interest generated by the original Masterclass and the vast number of requests for advice or supervision from practitioners working with children who perhaps feel a lack of support from the (un)available literature. It is perhaps particularly suited to those who have attended the first Masterclass but any practitioners with an interest in working with children and, preferably, a little experience are welcome.

We consider the advantages of taking a method-oriented approach as against seeing each condition as requiring a particular set of procedures. In so-doing a number of common childhood complaints may be discussed in addition to the ones listed in the syllabus.

In the afternoon, much of the time will be given over to discussing your own cases and problems.
