In this episode, Dr Ruth Schmidt Neven presents her talk; It’s not Just Child’s Play: Understanding the meaning of children’s behaviour. Far from being dismissed as a simplistic process, child’s play is part of everyday ‘work’. It is a rich complex and meaningful experience that helps children make sense of their world and helps adults to make sense of children’s behaviour.

Dr. Ruth Schmidt Neven is a child psychotherapist, clinical psychologist and educator, who has brought a pioneering approach to clinical work that emphasizes the essential nature of the meaning of behaviour.
