Technique in Child and Adolescent Analysis (Paperback)

This book presents central aspects of the concept technique in psychoanalysis and discusses their significance for child analysis. Technique, in a more outward but nevertheless much-discussed sense, covers the basic set-up of the treatment, the setting and adaptations to the developmental stage of the child. In a more comprehensive sense, technique can be understood as the totality of the means used to enable a therapeutic relationship and to set a psychoanalytical process in motion. In view of current developments, the different standpoints taken up by Anna Freud and Melanie Klein in their discussions on the technique of child analysis in particular as regards transference and the technique of interpretation now seem dated and no longer appropriate to the current understanding of a dynamic interaction between analyst and child. A more complex concept of interpretation as the central instrument of psychoanalytic work can expand therapeutic possibilities in child analysis and can help establish a fresh understanding of the therapeutic process in its theory too.Contributors: Elisabeth Brainin, Antonino Ferro, Michael Gunter, Kai von Klitzing, Helga Kremp-Ottenheym, Maria Rhode, Angelika Staehle"
