History
The journal was founded in 1996 by Bryan Lask. He wanted to establish a new international journal that could meet the needs of clinicians working with children and families in all kinds of settings and services. He was keen for it to be very readable, to reach out across disciplines and across different therapeutic orientations. Since its inception it has continued to provide a valued resource for clinicians under the editorship of Bernadette Wren, Arlene Vetere Rudi Dallos and now Michael Tarren-Sweeney and Anna Brazier. The journal continues to aim to share creative and innovative work across disciplines in a way that gives voice to experience in practice.
