“An unusual and potentially groundbreaking book. Overall, this book is an exciting departure for psychoanalytic psychotherapy with children. It is a compassionate approach, one that embraces contemporary research findings and important new disciplines such as neurobiology, but at the same time remains true to its psychoanalytic core beliefs and practices. It brings core psychoanalytic ideas back into the center of therapy with very challenging children, and speaks a language that nonpsychoanalytic clinicians will understand.”
Dr. Graham Music, Consultant Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist at the Tavistock and Portman Clinics, Author of Nurturing Natures: Attachment and Children's Emotional, Sociocultural and Brain Development
