Puberty is a time of tumultuous transition from childhood to
adulthood activated by rapid physical changes, hormonal development
and explosive activity of neurons. This book explores puberty
through the parent-teenager relationship, as a "normal state of
crisis", lasting several years and with the teenager oscillating
between childlike tendencies and their desire to become an adult.
The more parents succeed in recognizing and experiencing these new
challenges as an integral, ineluctable emotional transformative
process, the more they can allow their children to become
independent. In addition, parents who can also see this crisis as a
chance for their own further development will be ultimately
enriched by this painful process. They can face up to their own
aging as they take leave of youth with its myriad possibilities,
accepting and working through a newfound rivalry with their
sexually mature children, thus experiencing a process of maturity,
which in turn can set an example for their children. This book is
based on rich clinical observations from international settings,
unique within the field, and there is an emphasis placed by the
author on the role of the body in self-awareness, identity crises
and gender construction. It will be of great interest to
psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, parents and carers, as well as
all those interacting with adolescents in self, family and society.

This book provides a powerfully argued and beautifully constructed
account of the early development of the child in the family context
from a psychoanalytic perspective. It draws particularly on the
theoretical trajectory from Freud to Klein and Bion.The growth of
the child's mind is the story she wants to tell. The wealth of
detailed examples drawn from the systematic observation of babies
and young children, from more everyday observation of children's
behavior in family and social contexts and from a range of clinical
interventions draws the reader into a vivid understanding of the
author's conceptual framework and provides many memorable vignettes
of children's lives. The method of presentation, in which the
descriptive material is followed by an interpretation of its
psychological and developmental significance, offers the
opportunity to immerse oneself in an account of the detailed play
and interactions of a child with parents or therapist or other
children and then to draw back and think about the complex
processes one has been privileged to observe.
The book describes, from a psychoanalytic perspective, the
development of the parent-infant relationship in the first years of
life. It follows the development of the child's relationship to his
or her parents from birth until the end of the third year. The
psychoanalytic understanding of earlier patterns of experience is
expertly presented to the reader. For readers looking for an
introduction to the many different psychoanayltical theories about
the early years, this book offers a comprehensive guide to the most
important directions.Diem-Wille's experience as psychoanalyst,
professor of education, and organizing tutor of a university course
for teachers, and as a mother and grandmother, all enrich her
writing and contribute to the breadth of this remarkable book. The
author combines consideration of the physical interwoven with the
psycho-social development in the first, second and third years of
life; she looks at the experience of the relationship at each stage
from both the child's and the parent's perspective; and she
discusses theory and gives hints to parents and teachers about how
to observe the non-verbal communication of babies and children and
respond to their needs. It is a book which will be of great value
to parents, teachers, pediatricians and all those concerned with
furthering the understanding of children.
This book provides a powerfully argued and beautifully constructed
account of the early development of the child in the family context
from a psychoanalytic perspective. It draws on the theoretical
trajectory from Sigmund Freud to Melanie Klein and Wilfried Bion.
This book focuses on the intertwining between the development of a
child's psyche and its parents' behaviour. It shows the importance
of the earliest period of childhood for the development of basic
emotional patterns of the personality.
Latency: The Golden Age of Childhood concerns the child's emotional
and cognitive development during the period of latency. It
constitutes a bridge between the first stormy years of child
development and adolescence. The conflicts and libidinous wishes of
early childhood are relegated to the background and become latent:
in general, an emotional and physical stabilization occurs. The
child is attempting to find its place in the world. Accordingly,
its primary interest is no longer in itself or its parents, but in
the outside world. This is particularly manifested in forms of play
typical for this age range, strongly influenced by imitation of the
adult world and reality-oriented. At the same time, the body is
explored (and its awareness is strengthened through numerous games
involving movement, skill and competition). In all societies, this
period is when school begins. The latency development includes new
physical and intellectual capabilities as well as the development
of new ways to deal with problems of social hierarchy; gradually,
tolerance of tensions and a stabilization of identity are developed
as well.

Die ersten Lebensjahre sind fur die Entwicklung der emotionalen und
intellektuellen Grundmuster der Personlichkeit entscheidend. Dieses
Buch stellt - unter Berucksichtigung der modernen
hirnphysiologischen Forschung - die aktuelle psychoanalytische
Theorie zur psychischen Entwicklung in der fruhen Kindheit vor. In
verstandlichen Worten werden die Grundlagen der Entstehung des
Korper-Ichs, der Emotionen, des Denkens und der psychosexuellen
Entwicklung dargestellt und mit anschaulichen Beispielen aus der
Sauglingsbeobachtung nach Esther Bick und der Kinderanalyse
illustriert. Die Bedeutung von Liebe fur die Entwicklung des
Fuhlens und Denkens und der Umgang mit Bosem (Neid, Aggression und
Destruktion) werden theoretisch und anhand von Situationen
erlautert, die es dem Leser ermoglichen, an eigene Erlebnisse
anzuschlieaen.
"Das ist das erste in deutscher Sprache geschriebene Buch, das eine
umfassende Beschreibung der ersten drei Lebensjahre aus einer
psychoanalytischen Perspektive gibt. ... Das Hauptaugenmerk liegt
auf der Art und Weise wie Mutter und Vater (und andere
Bezugspersonen) durch ihr Verhalten und ihr Eingehen auf das Kind
ihm in den verschiedenen Entwicklungsstadien helfen (oder nicht
helfen konnen) sichere, reiche und kreative innere und aussere
Beziehungen zu entwickeln." (Isca Salzberger, International Journal
of Infant Observation) "This book brings an eminently readable, yet
highly professional perspective to the crucial important topic of
early child-parent relationships. It builds on the pioneer work of
Freud and Klein and brings these ideas with admirable application
to the 21st century." (Anton Obholzer, Tavistock Clinic)
