Biography
Judith Edwards, PhD, MACP, is a former consultant child and adolescent psychoanalytic psychotherapist who has worked at the Tavistock Clinic since the 1980s. She has been internationally published and is a past editor of the Journal of Child Psychotherapy. She edited the collection Being Alive (2001), and is the author of memoir Pieces of Molly: An Ordinary Life (Karnac, 2014)
"While each chapter can be a complete and satisfying read in itself, each one also contains links to others, sometimes pointed out by the writer, sometimes more subtly implied. So the book is not only a collection of pieces. It is a unified whole, portraying some of the key endeavours, the ongoing formulations and the rich internal and intellectual world of a skilled and creative practitioner." - Lee Marsden, The Journal of Educational Psychotherapy
