I have wanted to interview Luke for a long time - he was a lecturer on the Caspari Foundation course when I trained and I have been a participant in clinical groups he has facilitated, and I have always been so inspired by his incredibly broad knowledge and ability to draw on theory to illuminate work with a child in the room. 

We talk about Luke’s interesting journey from artist to Learning Mentor to Educational psychotherapist to Supervisor, School Governor, Caspari Tutor and Trustee. He explains his use of Bruce Perry’s three Rs - regulate, relate, reason - from the neurosequential model of development, to inform his interaction with children in the therapy room, and his ideas about containment, play and the third space. We also talk about other complementary modalities such as DDP (Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy), Theraplay and BUSS (Building Underdeveloped Sensorimotor Systems) and how they have influenced Luke’s work.


Here are the organisations, ideas and books Luke references:


Caspari Foundation

TouchBase

DDP

Theraplay


Attachment in Classroom: A Practical Guide for Schools (2006) - Heather Geddes

Subjects of Analysis (1994) - Thomas H. Ogden

Sensory Solutions in the Classroom (2021) - Carmen Lamp & Monique Thoonsen


Luke also mentions:

Joseph's Campbell's famous idea of the Hero’s Journey;

Julia Mitchell’s various work on siblings;

and Don Carveth's YouTube Channel
