The Young Adolescent: Clinical Studies 1st edition

Through his extensive clnical experience with adolescents Dr. Blos has come to consider the early years of adolescence the most crucial ones because they lay the foundation for later adolescent development. Fixations in the early phases of adolescence give rise to deviant developments which the two case studies of this volume richly illustrate. Susan and Ben were both successfully treated, and these insightful analyses of their treatment form a major contribution to psychoanalytic theory and practice.
