Course Summary

This programme, based at Anna Freud, provides a unique foundation for individuals interested in a clinical/psychotherapy training or a research/academic career in child development. The MSc combines a comprehensive multi-perspective understanding of development and clinical practice in the early years with a supervised clinical placement, a two-year observation of infants in a family setting, and a research project. This programme has a predominant psychoanalytic approach but provides a comprehensive understanding of early child development through a range of theoretical and clinical perspectives. Students are able to apply this understanding in a supervised clinical placement usually in the NHS, the Anna Freud clinical services or external charities/organisations, as well as conducting an Anna Freud-led research project or alternatively in collaboration with external partners.
