DIALOGUES WITH CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS

Dialogues with Children and Adolescents: A Psychoanalytic Guide (Paperback) book coverYou have questions about your child or grandchild. Or you are young and wonder about other people of your own age. Or, you’re working in a pre-school or school, or in a hospital. The book conveys the thoughts and feelings of youngsters, and why they get affected by things we, as adults, sometimes think are trifles. It uses imaginary letters between a child and a therapist. The language is thus simple and without any professional terms. Only the very last chapter contains more theoretical discussions about the content of the correspondences. Therefore, the book is also used in training programmes for therapists.

 

 

 

 

 

A QUOI PENSENT LES ENFANTS

A QUOI PENSENT LES ENFANTSThis is a French translation of the book “Dialogues…”

Merci donc [à Björn et Majlis Salomonsson] de nous aider, nous adultes, professionnels ou non de l’enfance, à entrer dans cette culture et à nous y retrouver. Cela est salutaire pour chacun d’entre nous, mais salutaire aussi pour les enfants que nous croisons, les nôtres ou ceux que nous avons à aider ou à soigner, car tout enfant a besoin d’être compris même s’il a peur d’être deviné, et c’est tout le tact de Björn et de Majlis qui leur permet de comprendre sans être intrusifs.

coverPSYCHOANALYTIC THERAPY WITH INFANTS AND PARENTS

This book provides a guide to clinical psychoanalytic work with distressed babies and unhappy parents, a group so often in need of urgent help. Although psychoanalytic work is primarily verbal, and infants have limited language, this form of treatment is receiving increased attention. The book explores how such work can be possible and benefit infants, how to work with the parents (especially the mother), and how major psychoanalytic concepts can be worked with and understood in these therapies. The book shows how we need these concepts to better understand, not only “baby worries”, but also adult clients’ non-verbal communications and interactions. Throughout, I use extensive practice-based examples and also refer to my research on the efficacy of this practice.
