This book provides a comprehensive and clinically grounded account of psychodynamic treatment in child and adolescent psychiatry. Bringing together leading international contributors, it offers a developmentally structured approach spanning the entire trajectory from perinatality and infancy to childhood and adolescence.Combining theoretical depth with clinical applicability, the chapters include detailed case material and practical guidance across a wide range of clinical situations, including mood and anxiety disorders, trauma, eating disorders, and borderline functioning. Particular attention is given to contemporary challenges such as the psychodynamic dimensions of psychopharmacology and transcultural clinical practice.A distinctive feature of this volume is its integration of psychodynamic thinking within multidisciplinary and institutional settings, addressing therapeutic mediations, teamwork, supervision, and preventive approaches. By articulating a coherent and developmentally informed framework, the book demonstrates the continuing relevance of psychodynamic perspectives in modern psychiatric practice.This volume will be an essential resource for clinicians, trainees, and researchers seeking to integrate psychodynamic approaches into the care of children, adolescents, and their families.
