Description
Adolescence and Developmental Breakdown: A Psychoanalytic View by Moses Egle Laufer and M.E. Laufer This book presents a unique perspective on adolescent psychology, arguing that severely disturbed adolescents can be assessed and treated using psychoanalytic techniques. The authors contend that the psychopathology of these individuals is rooted in conflicts over their sexually mature bodies. The book draws on extensive case histories to support its argument, providing insight into the complexities of adolescent development and the underlying causes of severe psychological distress. By exploring the intersection of psychoanalysis and adolescent psychology, readers can gain a deeper understanding of this critical stage of human development.
