This collection of papers from psychoanalysts across Europe is
intended to highlight the similarites and differences between
approaches to working with children and adolescents. Part of the
EFPP Monograph Series.
The authors show how their ego-psychological object relations
theory integrates drive theory and object relations theory and does
justice to recent findings regarding the vicissitudes of
transference and countertransference interactions in the
psychoanalytic situation. 'A significant shift has taken place in
the last few decades in the way in which psychoanalytic theory has
developed and in its application to psychoanalytic technique. This
development has, in essence, consisted in the ascendance of object
relations theory as an overall integrating frame of reference
linking psychoanalytic metapsychology closer to the vicissitudes of
the psychoanalytic process. This has facilitated the formulation of
unconscious intrapsychic conflict in more clinically helpful ways
than has the traditional frame of reference exclusively based on
the conflict between drives and defensive operations. 'The great
interest of the Sandler's approach resides in their careful and
systematic elaboration of what might be called the various
"building blocks" of a contemporary ego psychological object
relations theory, carefully exploring each areas on its own merits
before gradually taking them into an overall theoretical approach.
Few topics elicit greater controversy within psychoanalysis today
than the role of research in justifying or expanding upon analytic
theory. The text collects papers from a London conference, along
with additional material, to explore the work of discussants Daniel
Stern and Andre Green. Stern, whose work and psychoanalysis and
infant observation is world-renowned, and Green, the French
psychoanalyst whose trenchant views on the limitations of research
are equally well known, each focus on the issue of infant research
and its long history within the psychoanalytic movement.Additional
discussions by three prominent British psychoanalysts, Anne
Alvarez, Irma Brenman Pick, and Rozine Jozef Perelberg, expose a
different point of view from that of green and Stern. Also included
is a previous debate on this topic between Andre Green and Robert
S. Wallerstein, former president of the International
Psychoanalytic Association. An illuminating introductory chapter by
Riccardo Steiner further describes the main points of the debate
with marvelous clarity. This book will be invaluable for all those
who wish to involve themselves with contemporary views on this
important topic.

The European Federation for Psychoanalytic in the Public Health
Services (EFPP) was founded in 1991 with a number of linked
objectives. At their heart was and is a determination that
knowledge and treatment skills stemming from psychoanalysis should
become much more widely available and applicable to the general
public with mental health problems who come for help from the
"caring" professions. In its short history, the EFPP has already
made a considerable impact. Many of its member countries have been
considerably assisted by the training standards for practitioners
in psychoanalytic psychotherapy that the EFPP aspires to. The EFPP
is organized into three sections: for individual adult
psychoanalytic therapy, for child and adolescent psychoanalytic
psychotherapy, for group psychoanalytic psychotherapy. Recognition
of these three vital focuses of applied psychoanalysis through
structural representation in the EFPP has created a unique spirit
of cooperation between the sections.
