This book draws together work from across Europe by leading
clinical researchers who have taken up this challenge and have
undertaken clinical research to look at the effectiveness of
psychoanalytic interventions. They are mostly time-limited, brief,
non-intensive ways of working, so are applicable in many settings
and can therefore be generalized to other clinical teams. The
populations worked with are diverse and often present mainstream
services with refractory clinical problems so an applied
psychoanalytic approach is well worth trying, given the evidence in
this volume.There is in addition an excellent theoretical chapter
on the issues for such clinical research from Stephen Shirk which
merits consideration by those wanting to evaluate their own
work.This book has had a long gestation but it is an important
contribution to child and adolescent mental health services to
ensure the full menu of interventions is retained, especially in
these times of financial restraint, increasing family distress and
concerns about inadequate parenting, family breakdown and
troublesome adolescents.

Coping with modern technology in the life sciences (biology and
medicine) became a major issue for people living in the Twentieth
Century, and continues to be so in the present century.
Biotechnology creates new opportunities and possibilities, but also
new dangers, risks, and ethical concerns. In this volume, ethical
dilemmas in the context of a specific biomedical technology are
discussed. Experts in ethics, philosophy, psychoanalysis, and
medicine jointly investigated a field of prenatal and genetic
research that seems particularly challenging: prenatal diagnostics.
In many European countries amniocentesis, for example, is a routine
diagnostic tool for women becoming pregnant after the age of
thirty-five. In recent decades, enormous progress has been made in
diagnosing genetically-based diseases and other serious prenatal
abnormalities. Today, we know that a positive prenatal genetic
diagnostic creates distress for all women and their partners, and
necessitates making the difficult decision as to whether or not to
allow the pregnancy to continue. As is demonstrated in this volume
through the summaries of interviews with couples, the reactions of
women and their partners who are facing this situation can be very
different. The new and innovative interdisciplinary dialogue on
this topic that is presented in this volume offers a deeper
understanding of the ethical dilemmas raised by prenatal and
genetic diagnostics, and explores ways to support couples in this
extremely difficult situation.
Drawing on the rich range and depth of the clinical experience of
the contributors, this welcome volume will be a valuable tool for
clinicians and trainees. The authors share a powerful commitment to
the relevance and value of psychoanalytically based work with
parents - an area all too often inadequately provided for - and
provide heartening evidence of the resilience and intellectual
vitality of the various strands within this tradition. Part of the
EFPP Monograph Series.
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.
