Ann Horne was head of the Independent child psychotherapy training and post-graduate development at the BAP (now IPCAPA). She is co-editor of The Handbook of Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy and of the four earlier books in this series. Now retired, she gives talks and writes, retaining a special interest in children who act with the body rather than reflect.
