Fritz Redl and the life space interview
practice
Charles Sharpe
Fritz Redl was a distinguished child psychologist, child care worker and teacher. His theory is, as his practice was, predominantly underpinned by psychodynamic principles. Redl’s work and concern for troubled children and young people spanned 60 years firstly in Austria and subsequently in the United States of America. He made many significant contributions to the group care and education of troubled young people. His concepts influenced the development of the idea of the therapeutic milieu, the establishment of the notion of discipline rather than punishment in child care settings, the leadership role in group care, and the use of the group as therapy. This article is an introduction to what many consider his most original contribution to work with children and young people : the life space interview. The life space interview is a child care strategy which ‘exploits’ events in the everyday life of troubled young people for therapeutic purposes.
