TY - JOUR PY - 2005// TI - ‘Only connect’ – a sexually abused girl's rediscovery of memory and meaning as she works towards the transition from a therapeutic community to a foster-family JO - Journal of child psychotherapy A1 - Cant, Diana SP - 6 EP - 6 VL - 31 IS - 1 N2 - This paper looks at the role of individual psychotherapy with a severely sexually abused girl in a therapeutic community, and the place of this work as she makes the transition into foster-care. It emphasizes the importance, not only of the individual work, but also of the drawing together of the work around the child, particularly at such a critical time. There is discussion of the ideas of 'deadness' versus 'aliveness' in the therapy, and detailed case material is used. Keywords: Child psychotherapy; sexual abuse; therapeutic community; foster-care; transitions; transitional space
