Adolescent Casebook - Bog

The ADOLESCENT CASEBOOK takes us on a journey from puberty to adulthood, with 58 child therapists and psychoanalysts from around the world contributing clinical case vignettes and commentaries. Edited by Jack Novick and Kerry Kelly Novick, who have contributed an introduction, editorial reflections on each chapter, and a summary collation of the findings of the book, this volume demonstrates that many colleagues everywhere are effectively and creatively working with adolescents and emerging adults. It delivers a state-of-the-art understanding of how the phase of adolescence is conceptualized, who is being treated how, and what techniques are effective in helping young people traverse an admittedly challenging terrain to achieve adulthood. This is not only a unique compendium, valuable to clinicians in terms of technique and theory - it also offers fascinating and accessible material for teaching at all levels of clinical experience. Readers from different disciplines will find it engaging and useful.
