The Mother and Her Child: Clinical Aspects of Attachment,
Separation, and Loss, edited by Salman Akhtar, focuses upon the
formation of an individual's self in the crucible of the early
mother-child relationship. Bringing together contributions from
distinguished psychoanalysts and child observational researchers,
it elucidates the nuances of mothering, the child's tie to the
mother, the mysteries of secure attachment, and the hazards of
insecure attachment. These experts also discuss issues of
separation, loss, and alternate sources of love when the mother is
absent or emotionally unavailable, while highlighting the relevance
of such ideas to the treatment of children and adults.
Psychoanalytic Trends in Theory and Practice serves as a guide for
the novice, and a refresher for the expert, into the history and
current status of major psychoanalytic concepts. Each chapter
author, reviews the development of a concept over the history of
psychoanalysis, includes clinical examples to illustrate the
concept, and identifies current questions about the topic. Further,
many chapters embody a developmental perspective, not just in terms
of an idea or concept, but also in terms of the individual; these
sections explore how the experiences of the child inform that of
the adult. M. Hossein Etezady, Inga Blom, and Mary Davis honor core
concepts that continue to inform contemporary psychoanalytic
practice, demonstrate the ongoing relevance and utility of the
psychoanalytic perspective, and provide a solid and integrative
foundation for further exploration into the next generation of
theory and clinical work.
