Reviews / Votes
It has been decades since psychoanalysis has had an adequate textbook on child and adolescent development. Gilmore and Meersand have provided us with an excellent one that avoids the parochialism of traditional psychoanalytic texts, integrating the disparate schools that populate the modern day pluralistic world of psychoanalysis while also weaving in the relevant findings from cognitive and neuroscience. This book will be essential for psychoanalytic candidates around the world. * Alan Sugarman, Ph.D, Training and Supervising Child, Adolescent, & Adult Psychoanalyst, San Diego Psychoanalytic Center; Clinical Professor of Psychiatry, University of California, San Diego *More details
