Abstract

Our efforts in this chapter will be to establish an essential foundation for the field of child and adolescent psychoanalysis and psychodynamic psychotherapy, a model that has radically changed over the past 50 years, in order to anchor the remainder of this book in a two-person relational psychology model.

What Freud did not envision, however, is the extent to which useful theory has become relational.
