Majlis Winberg Salomonsson – författare

The Infinite Infantile and the Psychoanalytic Task is a fascinating collection of essays that proposes to restore and elaborate original conceptions of the complexity of mental processes in the early years of life until the onset of adolescence, and from then until adulthood.

This book, led by the Committee on Child and Adolescent Psychoanalysis (COCAP) of the International Psychoanalytical Association (IPA), commits to shedding light on new developments in theory and practice in this area.

Each chapter offers an expression of current thinking and clinical work with child and adolescent patients, as well as with their parents, families, and community. The complex contributions by brilliant and erudite scholars offer a fresh take on the existing body of thought on infancy and childhood in psychoanalysis that will challenge and enlighten readers of all backgrounds. Within these perspectives, the development of internal and external bonds is the focus, as well as a consideration of how analysts work in their time with young patients at these key moments of the life cycle.

With their expertise in childhood, the contributors share complex views on the link between analysis with young children and psychoanalysis with adults, making it an essential read for child and adolescent psychoanalysts in practice and in training.

Psychoanalytic work with children is popular, but the sophisticated language used in psychoanalytic discourse can be at odds with how children communicate, and how best to communicate with them. Dialogues with Children and Adolescents: A Psychoanalytic Guide shows how these aims can be achieved for the most effective clinical outcome with children from infancy up to late adolescence.

Björn Salomonsson and Majlis Winberg Salomonsson draw on extensive case material which reveals the essence of communication between child and therapist. They enfranchise the patient of all ages as an equal participant in the therapeutic relationship. Presented in letter form the cases contain no professional terms. Only the final chapter contains theoretical commentaries applicable to each case. These terms and theories help to explain a child’s behaviour, the analyst’s technique and the background to the disorder.

This is new creative development in child therapy and analysis which is written in a very accessible style. Dialogues with Children and Adolescents will be essential reading for beginners in psychoanalytic work with children and will cast a fresh light on such work for more experienced clinicians. It will also appeal to the non-professional lay reader.

Trots vår materiella utveckling tycks det finnas en risk att barn- och ungdomsgenerationen för första gången kommer att få en sämre psykisk hälsa än sina föräldrar. Ökade krav på prestation och utseende gör dagens tonåringar mer sårbara, och fler söker professionell hjälp. Kanske behövs en regelbunden samtalskontakt, någon som har kännedom om tonåringens livssituation, som har klinisk och vetenskaplig erfarenhet och är öppen för nya metoder.

Tonårstid ger en teoretisk och klinisk grund för psykoterapi med tonåringar. Utgångspunkten är psykodynamisk och familjeorienterad, men beskriver också en bred arsenal av kompletterande tekniker och arbetssätt, liksom hur olika behandlingar kan kombineras.

Boken är tänkt som kurslitteratur för blivande terapeuter. Genom sin bredd kan den också vara en inspirationskälla för alla som i sin vardag möter tonåringar, till exempel kuratorer, lärare, fritidsledare och tonårsföräldrar.

Det har länge funnits behov av en bred lärobok på svenska om psykoterapeutiskt baserad behandling av tonåringar. Det är närmare 30 år sedan en sådan skrevs senast.
