Containing Failure: Consultancy to a Residential Centre for Adolescents

Clare Huffington

Tavistock Centre, London

This article presents a case study from the author’s experience as consultant to a short-stay residential centre for adolescents. The different phases of the work, with the staff group, management team and manager alone, are described. The themes and issues the work raises for consultancy to agencies working with adolescents are explored against the background of unprecedented change in provision of child-care services. The most appropriate target group for consultancy, adolescence, and failure and working with experience in the here-and-now are themes which are discussed.
