On behalf of the Editorial Committee, we are delighted to present the first issue of the Journal oífChild Psychotherapy to be published by Routledge. We hope that the change in format, size and design of ‘the little red book’ will meet with your approval and that the prospect of three issues per year will be pleasing. Our new colleagues at Routledge have proved sensitive to the needs, demands and occasional vagaries both of the committee and of our professional readership: we anticipate a creative liaison and value especially the business and marketing knowledge which Routledge bring to this venture.
The appointment of the Advisory Board represents a further step in the development of the Journal. It has been most rewarding to receive warm and welcoming letters from this distinguished group, applauding the move forward and offering support. We are delighted that they have joined us.
It is a particular honour to be able to publish in this new volume two papers which Frances Tustin intends to be her last. With typical generosity she has chosen this forum ‘to communicate my experience to my fellow child psychotherapists’. Mrs Tustin is an honorary member of the Association of Child Psychotherapists, an Honorary Affiliate of the British Psychoanalytic Society and a Corresponding Member of the Psychoanalytic Center of California. To many of us she is also a much-loved teacher, supervisor and friend, modest of person and intensely stimulating of curiosity and thought. The sadness that we may not receive her thinking in print again is tempered by this generous gift. It may be of interest to readers to know that Mrs Tustin's work will be included in a new series by Routledge of introductory critical texts entitled Makers of Modern Psychotherapy. The volume on Frances Tustin will be by Sheila Spensley.
