The Child Patient and the Therapeutic Process: A Psychoanalytic, Developmental, Object Relations Approach

By Diana Siskind

Book Overview

This book examines the treatment of young children from the perspective of the therapist's clinical decisions. How does the therapist know what to do at any given moment in a session? What processes of synthesis and integration allow the therapist to choose interventions that transform the relationship between adult and child into a treatment relationship? How does the child therapist balance working with the child and working with the child's parents?
