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.

Homeless women and their children who reside in a transitional
housing facility or shelter have experienced multiple traumas and
disruptions in their earliest attachments. These multiple, chronic
traumas often result in disorganized attachment disorders, which,
in turn, affect all future development. Although there are a dearth
of programs and interventions that work with disorganized
attachment disorder within the homeless population, there are few
studies that explore the difficulties that homeless mothers
experience in forming positive attachments with their children.
Mothering without a Home: Attachment Representations and Behaviors
of Homeless Mothers and Children explores the attachment style of
homeless mothers and its effect on the resulting attachment style
of their children. Ann Smolen utilizes psychoanalytically informed
interventions with the goal of aiding these women in developing a

emotional needs.
In Growing Pains: Revising Child Development Theories and their
Application to Patients of All Ages, editors Henri Parens and
Salman Akhtar present a collection that draws on over 50 years
professional experience in child development. Contributors to this
collection touch on psychoanalytic conceptualizations of child
development, separation-individuation theory, personal clinical
experiences, the effects of trauma and neurodevelopmental disorders
in the mother-child relationship, and the intergenerational
transmission of trauma. This edited collection is recommended for
scholars and practitioners interested in psychoanalysis, child
development, and clinical psychology.
From childhood onwards, humans use their environment's responses to
construct models or schemata to link feelings and impulses with
actions and effects. If the environment during those formative
years is unreliable, frustrating, or violating, the construction of
those internal models can be disrupted and create a disjointed
perception of the world, where violence is the only way to feel
strong or good about oneself. Before and After Violence explores
the complex network of experiences and relationships that
contribute to both the origins and consequences of violence,
starting in the early stages of life and compounding over time. The
contributors to this collection examine the different settings in
which violence takes place, look at the variables that propel its
occurrence in local and global instances, and depict how each can
be traced back to profound feelings of betrayal, helplessness, and
anger that manifest in the physical discharges of aggression
towards a single person or a whole group. Through a psychoanalytic
lens, the contributors analyze and explain violence in its many
forms, delve into its myriad of causes, as well as offer a variety
of solutions that can be applied to various instances of violence
whether it be physical or mental, self-directed or other-directed.

Human Goodness: Origins, Manifestations, and Clinical Implications
focuses on the positive attributes that exist in each human heart.
In this volume eight distinguished clinicians elucidate the notion
of human goodness and devote their attention to subjects including
altruism, kindness, concern, gratitude, and forgiveness. The
origins of these valuable traits in the crucible of childhood
experience are fleshed out and the therapeutic relevance of these
ideas is illustrated with numerous clinical vignettes. As a result,
this exceptional, tightly edited book is replete with material
leading mental health professionals to see their clients in fresh
and increasingly helpful ways.
The Rape of Childhood: Development, Clinical, and Sociocultural
Aspects of Childhood Sexual Abuse details the dark realm of
childhood sexual abuse. While lived experience, memory,
subjectivity, and affect cannot be classified into neat categories,
this collection is divided into four core sections-epidemiology,
emotional sequelae, psychoanalytic insight, and ameliorative
strategies-to provide a thorough description of childhood abuse.
The contributors examine the variables that increase a child's
vulnerability to maltreatment, including age, gender, ethnicity,
and socioeconomic factors, and outline the various emotional and
behavioral consequences of childhood sexual abuse. This collection
is essential reading for therapists working to help formerly abused
children to learn how to love, be loved, and care about themselves.
