Growing up : revisiting child development theories and their application to patients of all ages

In Growing Pains: Revising Child Development Theories and their Application to Patients of All Ages, editors Henri Parens and Salman Akhtar present a collection that draws on over 50 years professional experience in child development.

Contributors to this collection touch on psychoanalytic conceptualizations of child development, separation-individuation theory, personal clinical experiences, the effects of trauma and neurodevelopmental disorders in the mother-child relationship, and the intergenerational transmission of trauma.

This edited collection is recommended for scholars and practitioners interested in psychoanalysis, child development, and clinical psychology.
