Launched in 1971, Adolescent Psychiatry promised "to explore
adolescence as a process . . . to enter challenging and exciting
areas that may have profound effects on our basic concepts."
Further, they promised "a series that will provide a forum for the
expression of ideas and problems that plague and excite so many of
us working in this enigmatic but fascinating field." The repository
of a wealth of original studies by preeminent clinicians,
developmental researchers, and social scientists specializing in
this stage of life, the series has become an essential resource for
all mental health practitioners working with youth. Volume 24 of
The Annals surveys four broad areas of adolescent psychiatry that
speak to the challenges and opportunities now before the field.
Part I offers three important reassessments of adolescent
development; they focus, respectively, on separation-individuation
theory, the interpersonal matrix of adolescence, and the psychology
of belonging. Part II explores the future of child and adolescent
psychiatry in the context of school-based mental health services.
Several assessments of ongoing school-based mental health clinics
provide the context for reflection on the future of school-based
delivery systems. Part III examines forensic issues in adolescent
psychiatry and includes an overview of forensic psychiatry for
adolescent psychiatrists, an update on juvenile justice, and a
review of the issue of competence in adolescents. Finally, Part IV
offers a series of current perspectives on psychopharmacology in
relation to adolescence. Contributors review the current status of
pharmacological treatment of different adolescent populations,
including adolescents with behavior disorders, affective disorders,
anxiety disorders, pervasive developmental disorders, and
psychosis. The volume concludes with a timely examination of the
role of psychiatric consultation on an adolescent medical service.
Launched in 1971, Adolescent Psychiatry, in the words of founding
coeditors Sherman C. Feinstein, Peter L. Giovacchinni, and Arthur
A. Miller, promised "to explore adolescence as a process . . . to
enter challenging and exciting areas that may have profound effects
on our basic concepts." Further, they promised "a series that will
provide a forum for the expression of ideas and problems that
plague and excite so many of us working in this enigmatic but
fascinating field." For over two decades, Adolescent Psychiatry has
fulfilled this promise. The repository of a wealth of original
studies by preeminent clinicians, developmental researchers, and
social scientists specializing in this stage of life, the series
has become an essential resource for all mental health
practitioners working with youth. With volume 22, the editorship of
Adolescent Psychiatry passes to Aaron E. Esman, a distinguished
clinician and educator whose wide-ranging sensibilities gain
expression in a collection rich in clinical, developmental, and
scholarly insight. Encompassing developmental topics (adolescent
daydreams) timely clinical issues (eating disorders, impulse
control disorders, narcissistic and antisocial pathology),
historical commentaries (Shakespeare's adolescents, Nietzsche's
romantic construction of adolescence, Freud's Dora as an
adolescent), and a special section on "ambient genocide and
adolescence," volume 22 ably meets the needs of professional and
scholarly readers interested in this vitally important stage of
life.

studies by preeminent clinicians, developmental researchers, and
social scientists specializing in this stage of life, the series
has become an essential resource for all mental health
practitioners working with youth. Volume 23 of The Annals begins
with the late Richard Marohn's reexamination of Peter Blos's
concept of "prolonged adolescence," followed by contributions on
the developmental roots of adolescent disturbances, the role of
family interactions in adolescent depression, the establishment of
a therapeutic alliance with adolescents, and the treatment of
narcissistically disordered adolescents. The assessment and
treatment of adolescent substance abuse and of psychosomatic and
depressive symptoms in adolescence receive timely consideration. In
a concluding section on "School-Based and Preventive Programs,"
contributors address a range of important issues, from adolescent
sex and AIDS, to the provision of mental health services in public
and private schools, to the need for school-based suicide
postvention programs. In summary, volume 23 shows adolescent
psychiatry to be as vital as ever, building on the clinical wisdom
of the past while responding to the urgent challenges of the day.
Volume 25 of The Annals is a timely reprise on developmental,
psychotherapeutic, and forensic issues that enter into the
evaluation and treatment of adolescents. It traverses different
explanatory perspectives, offers integrative expositions of several
treatment modalities, and wrestles with the legal dimensions of
adolescent care. The volume begins with three developmental
studies: Shelley Doctors's clinically grounded reconsideration of
"adolescent turmoil," Charles Jaffe's dynamic systems approach to
adolescent psychotherapy, and Saul Levin's thoughtful consideration
of four aspects of the adolescent passage that clinicians tend to
ignore: the adolescent's sense of being, of belonging, of
believing, and of benevolence. A thorough review of adolescent
personality pathology and a case report of adolescent mourning are
followed by a series of papers exploring three principal treatment
modalities commonly employed in work with disturbed adolescents:
psychodynamic, interpersonal, and the integrated approach of the
Austen Riggs Center. Consideration of the game of chess as a
"method and metaphor" for working with object relationships in
narcissistic teenagers concludes the section of material on
therapeutic approaches. The final section of volume 25 engages two
knotty forensic issues that have come to the fore in adolescent
psychiatry. Saul Levin examines the legal and developmental
dimensions of the informed consent of minors whereas Everett Dulit
outlines three clinical constellations associated with female
adolescents' denial of pregnancy and examines their relationship to
neonaticide. Like its distinguished predecessors, volume 25 is a
thoughtfully assembled collection that not only spans the many
facets of adolescent psychiatry but is responsive to the most
pressing challenges - evaluative, therapeutic, legal - before the
field.
A collection of central papers on transference-the psychoanalytic
phenomen of adult repetition of childhood experiences Among Freud's
discoveries, none has proved more theoretically valid or clinically
productive than his demonstration that humans regularly and
inevitably repeat with the analyst patterns of relationship,
fantasy, and conflict experienced in their childhood. Transference
phenomenon and its analysis in therapy is the cornerstone for much
psychoanalytic work. It's crucial importance has been and continues
to be a matter of debate among psychoanalysts. Essential Papers on
Transference presents the central papers on the subject of
transference from Freud's time to our own. Although many reflect
viewpoints within the psychoanalytic mainstream, efforts have been
made to be as inclusive as possible; thus neo-Freudian, Kohutian,
and Lacanian statements are represented. The book underscores the
fact that the meaning, the therapeutic use, and even the
theoretical explanation of transference and transference phenomena
have undergone significant changes over the years.
