Technique in Child and Adolescent Analysis Author: Michael Gunter

ISBN: 9781855757158 Format: Paperback Number Of Pages: 152 Published: 17 August 2011 Country of Publication: GB Dimensions (cm): 23.0 x 14.7 x 1.5 Description: This book presents central aspects of the concept technique in psychoanalysis and discusses their significance for child analysis. Technique, in a more outward but nevertheless much-discussed sense, covers the basic set-up of the treatment, the setting and adaptations to the developmental stage of the child. In a more comprehensive sense, technique can be understood as the totality of the means used to enable a therapeutic relationship and to set a psychoanalytical process in motion. In view of current developments, the different standpoints taken up by Anna Freud and Melanie Klein in their discussions on the technique of child analysis - in particular as regards transference and the technique of interpretation - now seem dated and no longer appropriate to the current understanding of a dynamic interaction between analyst and child. A more complex concept of interpretation as the central instrument of psychoanalytic work can expand therapeutic possibilities in child analysis and can help establish a fresh understanding of the therapeutic process in its theory too.
