Webinar: Projective Assessment

Date: Monday 8th July 2024
Time: 4pm - 5pm
Topic: Projective Assessment

Join Monique Davis and Patrick Halcrow discuss projective assessment. Projective techniques are powerful tools to gain the voice of the child and explore aspects of their experience that may not be well understood. Rooted in psychoanalytic theory, they are performance-based techniques that can elicit information that cannot picked up by self-report measures. When carefully analysed and triangulated with other sources of information, projective techniques can open up conversations with children, families and staff that can facilitate deep understanding of difficulties, and help to create change. We will introduce some of the projective tools we use in our practice, illustrated with a case example.
