A New Language for Child Psychotherapy: A Response to Jerald Kay

Jerald Kay's article in this issue reviews important research in the areas of adult psychotherapy and neuroscience, and their implications for child psychotherapy. We respond by exploring some of the strengths and limitations of these lines of research and their implications for child psychotherapy development and research. The paper closes with seven proposed ways in which neuroscience will challenge the field to develop new ways of thinking about conceptual, empirical, and clinical work with children.
