Psychoanalytic Therapy with Infants and Parents provides a clear
guide to clinical psychoanalytic work with distressed babies and
unhappy parents, a numerous clinical group so often in need of
urgent help. Although psychoanalytic work is primarily verbal, and
infants may have limited language, this form of treatment is
receiving increased attention among therapists. Bjoern Salomonsson
explores how such work can be possible and benefit infants, how to
work with the parents (especially the mother), and how major
psychoanalytic concepts such as primal repression, infantile
sexuality and transference can be worked with and understood in
these therapies. Bjoern Salomonsson argues that attachment
concepts, though important, cannot solely help explain everyday
problems with breastfeeding, sleeping, and weaning, or more
recalcitrant interaction disorders. He shows how we also need
psychoanalytic concepts to better understand, not only such "baby
worries", but also adult clients' non-verbal communications and
interactions. Throughout, he uses extensive practice-based examples
and also refers to his research which provides evidence for the
effectiveness of this practice. Psychoanalytic Therapy with Infants
and Parents provides a unique perspective on working
psychoanalytically with parents and infants. This book will be
essential reading for psychoanalysts and therapists working with
children as well as adults.

Psychodynamic Interventions in Pregnancy and Infancy builds on
Bjoern Salomonsson's experiences as a psychoanalytic consultant
working with parents and their babies. Emotional problems during
the perinatal stages can arise and be observed and addressed by a
skilled midwife, nurse or health visitor. Salomonsson has developed
a method combining nurse supervision and therapeutic consultations
which has lowered the thresholds for parents to come and talk with
him. The brief consultations concern pregnant women, mother and
baby, husband and wife, toddler and parent. The theoretical
framework is psychoanalytic, but the mode of work is eclectic and
adapted to the family's situation and its members' motivation. This
book details such work, which can be applied globally; perinatal
psychotherapy integrated with ordinary medical health care. It also
explains how psychotherapy can be made more accessible to a larger
population. Via detailed case presentations, the author takes the
reader through pregnancy, childbirth and the first few years of
life. He also brings in research studies emphasizing the importance
of early interventions, with the aim of providing therapists with
arguments for such work in everyday family health care. To further
substantiate such arguments, the book ends with theoretical
chapters and, finally, the author's vision of the future of a
perinatal health care that integrates medical and psychological
perspectives. Psychodynamic Interventions in Pregnancy and Infancy
will appeal to all psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic
psychotherapists working in this area, as well as clinical
psychologists, clinical social workers and medical personnel
working with parents and infants.

Psychoanalytic work with children is popular, but the sophisticated
language used in psychoanalytic discourse can be at odds with how
children communicate, and how best to communicate with them.
Dialogues with Children and Adolescents: A Psychoanalytic Guide
shows how these aims can be achieved for the most effective
clinical outcome with children from infancy up to late adolescence.
Bjoern Salomonsson and Majlis Winberg Salomonsson draw on extensive
case material which reveals the essence of communication between
child and therapist. They enfranchise the patient of all ages as an
equal participant in the therapeutic relationship. Presented in
letter form the cases contain no professional terms. Only the final
chapter contains theoretical commentaries applicable to each case.
These terms and theories help to explain a child's behaviour, the
analyst's technique and the background to the disorder. This is new
creative development in child therapy and analysis which is written
in a very accessible style. Dialogues with Children and Adolescents
will be essential reading for beginners in psychoanalytic work with
children and will cast a fresh light on such work for more
experienced clinicians. It will also appeal to the non-professional
lay reader.
