Since Freud's publication of 'Little Hans', advances in
psychoanalytic technique and theory have transformed our clinical
work with children. Individuals including Anna Freud, Melanie Klein
and Donald Winnicott have influenced psychoanalytic play therapy
and broadened the scope of practice with them. Contemporary
psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic social work clinicians often find
themselves responding to misapprehensions and distortions about
psychoanalytic theory and treatment created or promoted in popular
culture. Furthermore, clinical practices are subject to the
disruptive influence of managed mental health care and, with the
ascendancy of biological psychiatry, an increasing reliance on
psychoactive drugs in the treatment of children, often in the
absence of sound research support. In this book, expert
international contributors explore developmental, theoretical and
clinical themes in work with children. Focusing on diverse
populations and varied treatment settings, they present compelling
clinical cases and research that, collectively, demonstrate the
efficacy and relevance of psychoanalytic ideas in the context of
play therapy. This book was originally published as a special issue
of Psychoanalytic Social Work.
An expanded and revised edition of the first social work text to
focus specifically on the theoretical and clinical issues
associated with trauma, this comprehensive anthology incorporates
the latest research in trauma theory and clinical applications. It
presents key developments in the conceptualization of trauma and
covers a wide range of clinical treatments. Trauma features
coverage of emerging therapeutic modalities and clinical themes,
focusing on the experiences of historically disenfranchised,
marginalized, oppressed, and vulnerable groups. Clinical chapters
discuss populations and themes including cultural and historical
trauma among Native Americans, the impact of bullying on children
and adolescents, the use of art therapy with traumatically bereaved
children, historical and present-day trauma experiences of
incarcerated African American women, and the effects of trauma
treatment on the therapist. Other chapters examine trauma-related
interventions derived from diverse theoretical frameworks, such as
cognitive-behavioral theory, attachment theory, mindfulness theory,
and psychoanalytic theory.

Adoption is a transformational process bringing parenthood to those
who long for but cannot bear children and giving stranded children
home, family, and their place in the world. But every adoption is
preceded and followed by its story and when these stories are told
in the offices of psychotherapists we begin to understand the
impact of adoption in all its complexity. We learn from parents how
their quest to have and raise a child has played out in real life,
and what shadows might have fallen between the dream and the
reality. And we learn from the children the many ways that being
adopted shaped their development, their sense of identity; what
went wrong along the way and how we may help. Clinical work with
parents and children as well as with adults who were adopted is the
focus of Understanding Adoption. Because adoption has become widely
practiced, accepted, and accessible, and because it has greatly
changed the composition of families, it is a timely subject for
study. The authors of this book undertake exploration of this
important terrain of loss and connection, and of the fragility and
resilience of human bonds.
