Theoretically anchored and historically informed, Six Children is a
book about the nuances of child psychoanalysis as these unfold in
the encounter with different forms of early life anguish.
Addressing autistic, homeless, and despondent children on the one
hand, and greedy, betrayed, and angry children on the other, the
book attempts to integrate developmental deficits, intrapsychic
conflicts, and constitutional givens in evolving a deeper
understanding of both severe and milder psychopathology. Ample
clinical illustrations are provided and technical interventions
pertinent to each of these situations are carefully fleshed out.
Equal attention is given to holding and interpretation, family
intervention and individual focus, and affect management and
mentalization. The fact that the six main chapters of the book are
sandwiched between a careful review and update of the field of
child analysis makes the book especially suited for being used as a
teaching tool in didactic curricula. A comprehensive and carefully
selected bibliography imparts the book a scholarly quality, which
exists alongside the text's literary and humane cadence.
