Description

The Elusive Child by Lesley Caldwell This collection of papers explores the complex and multifaceted subject of childhood, examining various psychoanalytic approaches to understanding developmental issues from infancy through adolescence. With contributions from experts in the field, the book delves into topics such as fostering and adoption, family dynamics, and the representation of children in the media. The authors scrutinize the role of psychoanalysis in understanding childhood, considering issues from Freud to Winnicott, while also examining neo-natal care and other vital aspects of a child's life. The ultimate question posed by this book is: what does it mean to be a child? By bringing together diverse perspectives on this subject, The Elusive Child offers a unique and thought-provoking understanding of childhood, one that will resonate with anyone interested in psychology, psychotherapy, or family relationships.
