Description

From a psychoanalytic perspective, Adolescence and Character Disturbance describes the role of primitive anxiety states in adolescent character organization. This volume’s primary objective is to compare and contrast classical Freudian, British object relations, and interpersonal psychoanalytic theories of character consolidation during adolescence. The format combines aspects of an historical survey of psychoanalytic theories, and clinical chapters on both adolescent psychopathology, and the current treatment implications of the psychoanalytic theoretical models.
