Abstract
Work as a school psychotherapist in a secondary school is described, with the aim of considering the varied ways in which the provision was used by staff and students. A brief view is given of the history of work in school in the development of psychoanalysis. The creation of an analytic space in school is described. The contribution made to the individual's psychological growth, of a space in which to think, freely emerges; and the ways in which the simplicity of the analytic setting allows its adaptation, by the institution and by the individual, to meet the particular developmental needs of the moment, are shown.
