Summary
Adolescents and clinical work?
The notion carries a mystique all its own. Why is that?
In this presentation we will reformulate notions of turmoil and upheaval and consider an approach to adolescent development and clinical work from a more contemporary psychoanalytic approach. Integrating ideas from Intersubjective Systems Theory, Attachment Perspective, and Relational/Self Psychological perspectives we will reconsider tasks of adolescent development and clinical work. Clinical vignettes will elucidate the integration of theories of adolescence with and the clinical perspective.
