Full Description

This work of collected essays brings together the clinical, theoretical and educational wisdom of one of the foremost child psychoanalytic psychotherapists in the UK, Peter Wilson.

Wilson offers a clear, accessible understanding of adolescence from a psychoanalytic perspective, and highlights the importance of working dynamically. While guiding the reader through work with multiple behavioural and psychic difficulties often presented in the clinical space, he highlights the importance of the therapist not always having the answers. He encourages reflection and exploration, showing the importance of working through the process with one's adolescents in therapy.

This book is an invaluable resource for psychoanalysts, therapists, psychiatrists, psychologists, occupational therapists and teachers, as well as young people and their parents.
