Analytic Engagements with Adolescents

In Analytic Engagements with Adolescents, Mary T. Brady takes on the intensity and ‘heat’ of adolescent psychoanalytic treatment.She is a guide in the distinctive challenges of work with adolescents. The intensity of this work manifests in various ways; the heightened importance of body issues and related transference and countertransference, the subversiveness of risk-taking behaviour and the rejection and rebellion against authority, and the effects of parental response and family dynamics.
