Mainstream analysts working in the Jungian tradition have
largely neglected adolescents. Mara Sidoli and Gustav Bovensiepen
remedy that omission by showing how and why psychological and
physical abuse suffered by young children erupts in violent and
destructive behavior against the self and others. Using clinical
material, they establish the link between archetypal imagery,
disturbed behavior, and instinctual drive.
Drawing from all schools of analytical psychology, the authors,
along with several associates, focus mainly on severe neurotic
disturbances and behavioral problems occurring in adolescence.
Because most disturbances originate in the body, the contributors
concentrate on self-destructive behavior: suicide, self-mutilation,
and other self-damaging acts. Focused heavily on the treatment of
these adolescents, the text has selections from an international
group of contributors, providing diverse accounts of both
theoretical and technical approaches to therapy. The case histories
illustrate the relationship between the analyst and the adolescent
patient as it develops in consultation. Interweaving the concepts
of Jung, Freud, and others makes this volume a unique contribution
to contemporary psychoanalysis. It will be of sustained interest to
psychoanalysts, child psychotherapists, social workers,
psychiatrists, and psychologists.
