Parent Work Casebook

Más información sobre el libro

How often do we hear, "I don't treat children--it's too hard to work with their parents"? Parent work undoubtedly brings many challenges. This casebook brings together the voices of 40 psychoanalysts from around the world to illustrate contemporary views about whether and how to work with parents. The ideas proposed in the model of dynamic concurrent parent work are illustrated and explored here through clinical vignettes, commentaries from experienced child and adolescent analysts, and reflections by the volume's editors. The value of parent work is affirmed as a substantive contribution to pragmatic, effective, and life-changing child and adolescent psychoanalysis.
