The period of adolescence can be a time of great creativity, as new
intellectual capacities emerge, and as the individual adolescent
attempts to make sense out of inner and outer experience. Volume 30
of Adolescent Psychiatry addresses the ways in which adolescent
experience is transmuted into creative artistic production, as well
as focuses on the relationship between creativity and
psychopathology, and treatment for troubled adolescents. With the
links between adolescence and creativity in mind, the volume opens
with an in-depth examination of a young boy's creation of his own
story of Polyphemus. This is followed by a fresh look at the
adolescent influences behind Austrian Symbolist painter Gustav
Klimt. The next ten chapters comprise a special section devoted to
creative solutions to some of the most challenging facing
adolescent psychiatry. Here, numerous relevant studies are
presented and conclusions drawn, as a whole addressing topics such
as: an innovative residential treatment program for gifted
adolescents who have failed academically and rejected previous
attempts at treatment; motivational interviewing, a technique
employed in the effort to find common ground between the therapist
and patient; the importance of understanding adolescent sexuality
and how to approach the topic with patients in an appropriate
manner; and a discussion of the registration, commitment, and
assessment of juvenile sex offenders. A final section investigates
problematic examples of reactive attachment disorder, as well as
treatment-refractory adolescent schizophrenia - when the medication
doesn't work. Volume 30 of Adolescent Psychiatry continues the
wide-ranging scholarship and analytic sensibility that has been the
hallmark of the series. Literary and artistic criticism reside
comfortably between empirical research and case studies, all
working together to broaden the horizon of research and application
of psychiatric technique and theory for adolescence.
