This edition is an attempt to present the reader with a lucid and concise, yet comprehensible text that outlines the key components that are required for practicing psychodynamic psychotherapy of children and adolescents. There is a brief exposition of the oeuvre of the three main successors of Sigmund Freud’s prodigious work, and their significant contribution to the formation of both the theory and technique of child and adolescent psychodynamic psychotherapy. In addition, there is a description of the key parameters of psychodynamic approach for the therapy of the most-often attested conditions in childhood and adolescence. Special reference is made to particular issues that have a bearing on practicing child and adolescent psychodynamic psychotherapy in the present day.

Throughout this book and where it was deemed necessary, the inclusion of informative (yet appropriately disguised) clinical material, originating from the authors’ broad clinical experience, significantly enriches its content.

The book’s chapters are written with clarity, whilst its topics are informed by state-of-the-art theorization and supported by selected both recent and seminal references.

The content of this book will be invaluable to the readers who need a careful description of the fundamentals of contemporary psychodynamic approaches to the comprehension and therapeutic treatment of children and adolescents’ psychopathology, including the specificities, challenges and questions raised accordingly. Notwithstanding any omissions, it is its authors’ belief that the book in question deserves a place in the library of anyone with a genuine interest in child and adolescent psychodynamic psychotherapy.
