In 1949, the Association of Child Psychotherapists came into being. Following a lively discourse represented by study weekends and conference events during the ACP’s first decade, and after the establishment of a regular Bulletin that began being published for ACP members, the Journal of Child Psychotherapy came into being fourteen years later. The first edition came off the press in 1963, and as a way of recognising the 70 anniversary of the ACP, this current edition of the Journal looks back at some of the themes that had emerged in that first Volume, in an effort to think back to the journey we have travelled since then. We therefore consider here excerpts from a small selection of papers from that very first Volume, which had spanned the years from 1963–1966. The material we are focussing on is of course considered today from our vantage point of the early part of the 21 century. The exploration that follows, based on our reading of these papers, is therefore free of the preconceptions related to theoretical orientation or status in the community that might have informed the readers of these articles at the time they were first published. There will inevitably also be gaps in our knowledge as contemporary readers, so a dialogue with the readership of the Journal relating to these papers, and others from our publication over the past 50 years, will be very welcome through the pages of the 2019 editions. It was a challenge to establish the basis on which to choose the papers to explore in this brief commentary. There are papers in this first Volume that remain significant works for the child psychotherapy profession from all theoretical orientations. They include Edna O’Shaughnessy’s ‘The absent object’; Michael Fordham’s ‘Notes on the transference and its management in a schizoid child’; ‘Donald Winnicott’s ‘Becoming deprived as a fact’; and Anna Freud’s ‘Interactions between nursery school and child guidance clinic’. But what is striking in that first Volume is the range of writers and orientations overall, even at this very early stage in the profession’s life. The differences in focus, in setting, in the use of theory and in the purpose with which they seem to approach publication is noteworthy. The first and only editorial in this first Volume (in Issue 1) underlines and celebrates these differences, and feels similar to the note we continue aspiring to for the Journal, that of plurality and multiplicity. The editorial suggests that:

ACP 70 周年：对《儿童心理治疗杂志》第 1 卷的评论

1949年，儿童心理治疗师协会应运而生。在 ACP 第一个十年期间以周末学习和会议活动为代表的热烈讨论之后，以及在为 ACP 成员出版定期公报之后，《儿童心理治疗杂志》在 14 年后应运而生。第一版于 1963 年出版，为了纪念 ACP 成立 70 周年，本期杂志回顾了第一卷中出现的一些主题，以期回想从那时起我们走过的旅程。因此，我们在这里考虑从第一卷中的一小部分论文摘录，这些论文跨越了 1963 年至 1966 年的时间。当然，我们今天关注的材料是从我们 21 世纪早期的有利位置来考虑的。因此，基于我们对这些论文的阅读，接下来的探索没有与理论方向或社区地位相关的先入之见，这些先入之见可能在这些文章首次发表时就已告知读者。作为当代读者，我们的知识也不可避免地存在差距，因此，通过 2019 年版的页面，我们非常欢迎与该杂志的读者以及我们过去 50 年出版的其他文章相关的读者进行对话。在这篇简短的评论中确定选择要探讨的论文的基础是一项挑战。第一卷中的一些论文从所有理论方向都对儿童心理治疗专业来说仍然是重要的作品。它们包括 Edna O'Shaughnessy 的“缺席的对象”；迈克尔·福特汉姆 (Michael Fordham) 的“关于精神分裂症儿童的移情及其管理的说明”；'唐纳德温尼科特的'成为事实'; 和安娜弗洛伊德的“幼儿园和儿童指导诊所之间的互动”。但第一卷中令人震惊的是作者的范围和整体方向，即使在这个职业生涯的早期阶段也是如此。值得注意的是，在重点、设置、理论使用和出版目的方面的差异是值得注意的。第一卷（第 1 期）的第一篇也是唯一一篇社论强调并颂扬了这些差异，感觉类似于我们继续为期刊所追求的笔记，即多元化和多样性。社论建议：
