The contributors provide comprehensive insights into the child analytic work of psychoanalysts, striking a balance between theory and practice: well-balanced theoretical considerations regarding treatment concepts alternate with the presentation of concrete case examples. The editors compile contributions on therapy with infants and toddlers, as well as on analytical psychotherapy with preschool and school-aged children. Discussions on psychoanalytic work with adolescents complete the portfolio. The contributors focus on the treatment of severely traumatized children, children with eating disorders and borderline issues, or adolescents with gender identity disorders. Readers thus learn about different therapeutic concepts from various perspectives. The book is practical and simultaneously serves as a testament to the field.
