PROJECTIVE PROCESSES ON THE FRONT LINE

Abstract

I am a social work doctorate student at the Tavistock Centre & UEL researching the nature and impact of projective processes in front line social work settings and management via the close study of a Children & Families Resource Centre. This paper forms part of a fuller thesis and focuses on two fragments of data from an interview with the project managers, who share material about a black male service user who had regular supervised contact sessions with his daughter at the centre.
