The Anna Freud Centre has published a systematic review of 77 international research studies showing the impacts of therapy interventions with children under five and their caregivers. The review focuses specifically on psychodynamic and psychoanalytic interventions and finds that therapy in the very early months and years of life can help prevent and reduce mental health difficulties both for parents and carers and their children.
