"The book outlines theories of child development from the point of view of the kinds of relationships children make with adults and the effects of their relationships on their learning. In addition, anxieties that some children show about reading, writing and arithmetic are described. In exploring these issues the book draws on Attachment Theory and on Psychoanalytic theories of emotional development. It includes detailed case studies to illustrate ways in which children's learning can be hindered by their difficulties in relating to teachers and the feelings and fantasies that some children have about words and letters. There has been recent political concern that children should all learn to read in their early years at school and extra help should be offered to those who are falling behind. The expectation in political circles seems to be, however, that straightforward extra help with reading will be sufficient, in all cases, to enable a child who has fallen behind to catch up. There has been no general recognition of the need to address underlying emotional problems in some cases, such as those described in this book."--Provided by publisher.

This book draws together work from across Europe by leading clinical researchers who have been looking into the effectiveness of psychoanalytic interventions. They are mostly time limited, brief, non-intensive ways of working so are applicable in many settings and can therefore be generalised to other clinical teams. The populations worked with are diverse and often present mainstream services with refractory clinical problems, so an applied psychoanalytic approach is well worth trying given the evidence presented in this volume. There is in addition an excellent theoretical chapter on the issues for such clinical research from Stephen Shirk which merits consideration by those wanting to evaluate their own work. This book has had a long gestation but it is an important contribution to services for child and adolescent mental health services to ensure the full menu of interventions is retained in these times of financial restraint with increasing family distress and concerns about inadequate parenting, family breakdown and troublesome adolescents.

"'This book is about how to maintain an aliveness to the possibilities in therapy and practice and how to challenge ideas of orthodoxy in theory and methodologies that can become stale or followed like religions. The central metaphor is the performance of practice emphasized in the spoken word and expressed in all its non-verbal complexity. How we, as practitioners, use every aspect of our being to communicate with the other in practice, how we shape and mould our words through gesture and other non-verbal actions in response to the gestures and words of others in a continually recursive process. Therapy is an enactment, a performance that is created between all the participants.'- Jim Wilson, from the Preface"--Provided by publisher.

Mentalization-based child therapy, previously known as developmental therapy, is the latest branch on the psychoanalytic tree of knowledge. It comprises a number of techniques that address deficiencies in specific areas of psychological development. It aims to treat children whose development has come to a standstill. A combination of data from psychoanalysis, infant research, attachment research, and neurobiology was of decisive significance in reaching this point. It is becoming clear that neurobiological processes can be understood very well on the basis of psychoanalytic frameworks. These

This book explores the existential themes and challenges present in all therapeutic relationships when working with children. Existential ideas and concepts are a rapidly growing influence on the practice of psychotherapy and yet their application to work with children remains largely unexplored. This book begins to redress this imbalance in a practical and engaging way by presenting an existential perspective on some key themes in practicing psychotherapy with children, including: play, anxiety, guilt, choice, family relationships, language and process. Each chapter is punctuated with engaging vignettes of case material, blending theoretical insight with the realities of practice. Through these narratives readers are challenged to question their own assumptions and beliefs whether they are new to existential psychotherapy or already immersed in its rich philosophical traditions. Children are born into the world without choice and are drawn towards making connections with others, developing self-awareness and personal identity.

"This title is based on the results of a project based at the Tavistock Clinic in London which set out to explore whether children and young people aged nine years to fifteen years suffering from depression could be helped using brief focused psychodynamic psychotherapy together with parent work and family therapy. There were also centres in Athens, Greece and Helsinki, Finland, and in this way the clinicians had sufficient subjects from which to compare the interventions and check for any possible cultural differences in the results. Most of the children and young people studied showed a noticeable improvement. The book contains chapters by the clinicians involved describing their work as well as a section containing the scientific papers that emerged from the project. It is hoped that this may encourage the use of similar approaches to working in the field, especially in these days when there is such a demand for psychological therapies."--Provided by publisher.

"This book explores various aspects of violence and the attendant emotional, psychological, biological and social features that may be found to accompany these states in children. It highlights the importance of prevention and early intervention and the implicit use of therapy to help children who are in these vulnerable and dangerous states of mind and body. Interdisciplinary research is also advocated as a research tool to help us to obtain as complete an understanding as possible of violence and it's vicissitudes in children. Because violence may have many antecedents and consequences in the mind, the provision of Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy is a very useful and elucidative method to use as a form of intervention. This book rests on fundamental psychoanalytic principles and processes as well as something very simple that we all know, yet tend to lose sight of: that children and parents who have increased social and emotional support in our society are less likely to develop pathological ways of coping with the various stressors and strains that are in part an inevitable element of living in the 21st century, and which may also be at times an inherent part of our psycho-biological make-up. Clinical material in all the chapters of this book also provide supporting evidence for how useful psychotherapy can be for children who have already developed coping strategies that are pathological, particularly in relation to violence. Research has found that too many obstacles are actually placed in the way of allowing violent children to receive the necessary treatment that could help them to overcome their violent tendencies."--Provided by publisher.

The paradigms of training, integration and quality that the university must embody, together with the acceleration of technological, demographic, urban, environmental, social, productive and economic processes, create the need to interpret extension in its broadest sense and involve it in the most diverse aspects of linking with society and the environment not only by transferring, but also - and fundamentally - by listening. It is not enough to open the doors of the university; nowadays, it is necessary to go out and become part of the community. This book, in its three thematic axes: psychoanalysis, discomfort and culture; clinical stakes, and psychoanalysis, science and research, is a testimony that the research line "Intersections of psychoanalysis" is concerned and concerned with community issues and from there questions the articulation between psychoanalysis, science and research.Psychoanalytic approaches to concerns about subjectivity is the production of a line of research, which leads us to congratulate all its authors for the fact of sustaining the discomfort of the implication it entails: to put a question to work under a condition: he who asks does not rest! If one responds to the ethics of psychoanalysis, the researcher sustains the discomfort of enduring it. Los paradigmas de formación, integración y calidad que debe encarnar la universidad, unidos a la aceleración de los procesos tecnológicos, demográficos, urbanos, ambientales, sociales, productivos y económicos, instalan la necesidad de interpretar la extensión en su sentido más amplio e involucrarla en los más diversos aspectos de vinculación con la sociedad y el medio no solo transfiriendo, sino también –y fundamentalmente– escuchando. No es suficiente abrir las puertas de la universidad; en la actualidad, es necesario salir y formar parte integrándose a la comunidad. Este libro, en sus tres ejes temáticos: psicoanálisis, malestar y cultura; apuestas clínicas, y psicoanálisis, ciencia e investigación, es testimonio de que la línea de investigación “Intersecciones del psicoanálisis” se preocupa y se ocupa de las problemáticas comunitarias y a partir de allí interroga sobre la articulación entre psicoanálisis, ciencia e investigación.Abordajes psicoanalíticos a inquietudes sobre la subjetividad es la producción de una línea de investigación, razón que lleva a felicitar a todos sus autores por el hecho de sostener la incomodidad de la implicancia que conlleva: poner en trabajo una pregunta bajo una condición: ¡quien pregunta no descansa! Si se responde a la ética del psicoanálisis, el investigador sostiene la incomodidad de soportarla.
