Abstract
Child psychoanalytic psychotherapy has been criticized for its reluctance to embrace evidence-based practice. This study aims to explore the historical narrative of a sample of child psychoanalytic psychotherapists about progress in developing the evidence base. Fourteen psychotherapists were interviewed and the transcripts analysed for common themes about evidence-based practice. Child psychoanalytic psychotherapists were generally positive about developing evidence-based practice but had reservations about the narrowness of hierarchies used by commissioners to assess evidence. The child psychoanalytical psychotherapists interviewed for this study recognized the need to promote evidence-based practice, in particular, to inform commissioners of Child Mental Health Services.
