| DESCRIPTION: This book critically
examines the theoretical approaches and clinical practices of the psychoanalysts
that historically have prevailed in the field of psychoanalysis with children:
Hermine Hug-Hellmuth, Anna Freud, Melanie Klein and her school, D.W.Winnicott,
Jacques Lacan and Rosine and Robert Lefort.
The critique is organised around four fundamental questions: 1) The child as an autonomous analysand
It shows that psychoanalysis with children is an integral part of psychoanalysis, not a separate discipline: the child enters an analysis not as a child but as a subject, an analysand in the full sense of the term, capable of working in analysis as any grown-up, and frequently better than grown-ups at that. Hence the title: Psychoanalysis with children, rather than of children. With more than twenty-five years of clinical experience with children and their parents, as well as research on psychoanalytic concepts and practical applications, the author also presents his views on a number of issues of crucial relevance for psychoanalytic theory and practice with children: - The process of acquisition of a sexual orientation;
ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Dr Leonardo Rodriguez has worked in psychoanalysis with children since1968. He co-founded the Australian Centre for Psychoanalysis in the Freudian Field and has been in charge of its School of Psychoanalysis since 1989.
