Enabling and Inspiring
Martha Harris (1919-1987) was one of the most influential and also one of the most loved psychoanalysts of the generation that trained with Melanie Klein. She also worked with Wilfred Bion, and wrote many books and papers on psychoanalytic training and child development. Her colleague James Gammill cites Mrs Klein as saying: She is one of the best people I have ever known for the psychoanalysis of children ... and she has a mind of her own. Harris was responsible for the child psychotherapy training at the Tavistock Clinic from 1960 onwards, developing laterally the method founded on infant observation that had been put in place by Esther Bick. She established cross-clinic work discussion gr...
The Many Faces of Asperger's Syndrome
This is the first book on the psychoanalytic treatment of children, young people and adults with Asperger's syndrome. It includes multi-disciplinary contributions on psychiatric perspectives and psychological theories of the condition. There is an overview of relevant psychoanalytic theory, and chapters on Asperger's original paper, on first-person accounts, on assessment and on care in the community. Clinical case histories of children, young people and the first published account of work with adults provide the possibility of using psychoanalytic work as a means of diagnostically differentiating between sub-groups, as well as providing a detailed insight into the emotional experience of people with Asperger's syndrome. Both Editors teach on the Tavistock Clinic Training in Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy. They are widely published authors and have both given lectures and papers in the UK, Europe and the United States.
Developments in Infant Observation
Infant observation carried out within the family is a compelling approach to the study of early human development, vividly revealing the impact of intergenerational patterns of child-rearing and the complex relationship between nature and nurture. It provides unique insights into the early origins of emotional disturbance and suggests ways in which healthy development can be promoted by both professional and parent, often resulting in changes to clinical practice. Developments in Infant Observation: The Tavistock Model is a collection of twelve key papers from international contributors. It offers an overview of current practice, explores the new concepts that have arisen from direct observation, and shows how the findings from observation are being applied in the research setting. An essential text for child psychotherapists in training and practice, this is a book that brings alive the academic theories of child development through thought-provoking and stimulating case-studies which will be of interest to any professional working with children.
Psychotic States in Children
Developments in the understanding and psychotherapeutic treatment of children and adolescents suffering from psychotic levels of disturbance are dealt with in this work, from the Tavistock Clinic Series. The book is chiefly concerned with children troubled in their behaviour, relationships, and communication. There is something extremely unsettling about the disturbed behaviour of sexually abused and severely troubled children. In spite of a sometimes exasperating measure of perversion and destructive wilfulness, these children manage to communicate a clear plea for help - a plea which deeply affects those in their immediate surroundings who find themselves struggling to make sense of these contradictory messages. This book describes significant new developments in the understanding and treatment of children and adolescents suffering from psychotic levels of disturbance. Each chapter contains a clinical description of a child emerging from a psychotic state, creating a useful collection of case histories.
Invisible Boundaries
The chapters of this book are all written by experienced psychoanalytically oriented psychotherapists and address different aspects of the psychotherapeutic treatment with psychotic children or adolescents. This volume collects the main contributions to the fourth conference of the child and adolescent section of the EFPP, held in Caen (France) in September 2001, on the general topic of "Psychotic Children and Adolescents and their Families".Contributors:Anne Alvarez; Britta Blomberg; Raymond Cahn; Genevieve Haag; Didier Houzel; Suzanne Maiello; Julia Pestalozzi; and Maria Rhode.

Clinical Psychoanalytic Case Studies with Complex Patients
Clinical Psychoanalytic Case Studies with Complex Patients is a collection of key case studies that provides a rich resource of information and inspiration for clinicians working psychoanalytically with complex and disturbed patients in a range of contexts. The book is presented in six parts, each introduced with commentary that puts the material into context. It covers a range of topics including autism, violence and perversion, psychosomatics, hysteria, dementia, psychosis and assessment of gender dysphoria. Each chapter presents either a single case study or a selection of case vignettes, examines necessary context and presents additional detail about subsequent treatment. The depth and range of the cases presented provide key insight into and detailed consideration of risk assessment, safe settings and other important preliminary issues. Clinical Psychoanalytic Case Studies with Complex Patients will be of great interest to psychoanalysts in practice and in training, psychoanalytic psychotherapists and other clinicians seeking an introduction to psychoanalytic work.
