    Story Stems – a window into a child’s internal world

    This webinar will cover the Story Stem Assessment Profile (SSAP) and its use as an assessment of a child’s attachment and internal representations. The SSAP consists of 13 narrative stems, to which the child provides their own story completions; information is thus gained directly from the child in a non-threatening context.
