N2  - In this paper we describe research using narrative techniques to examine the effects of past abuse, and the process of subsequent recovery, in children aged 4-8. The paper examines the impact of abuse upon children's inner representations of self, others, and relationships, the role of defensive processes, and indicators of change as the child settles in a new family. The use of the narrative technique as part of a clinical assessment is also described. This study is ongoing, and is based at the Anna Freud Centre, Great Ormond Street Hospital and the Thomas Coram Adoption Service.  Keywords: Maltreatment; Narrative; Assessments<p />
