The newest edition of Regulation-Focused Psychotherapy for Children offers a clear, compassionate framework for understanding children’s disruptive behavior as meaningful emotional communication.With more than a decade of empirical research on Regulation-Focused Psychotherapy for Children, this updated manual presents a comprehensive, manualized approach to RFP-C, a short-term psychodynamic treatment designed for children with chronic irritability, disruptive behaviors, and emotional dysregulation. It outlines the theoretical foundations of RFP-C, including affect regulation, defenses, and the Triangle of Conflict, and demonstrates how these concepts guide assessment, case formulation, and intervention. Detailed chapters walk readers through the structure of treatment, therapist stance, and moment-to-moment clinical decision-making, with particular attention to working collaboratively with parents. The manual integrates research findings with richly illustrated clinical examples, including transcripts and case vignettes, to show how therapists help children identify avoided feelings, understand anxiety, and relinquish maladaptive defensive patterns.Written for clinicians, educators, and interested readers alike, the manual translates complex psychodynamic ideas into practical, hopeful guidance for helping children and families. It is particularly useful for clinicians seeking an evidence-informed yet depth-oriented approach to externalizing behavior.

Manual of Regulation-Focused Psychotherapy for Children (RFP-C) with Externalizing Behaviors: A Psychodynamic Approach offers a new, short term psychotherapeutic approach to working dynamically with children who suffer from irritability, oppositional defiance and disruptiveness. RFP-C enables clinicians to help by addressing and detailing how the child’s externalizing behaviors have meaning which they can convey to the child. Using clinical examples throughout, Hoffman, Rice and Prout demonstrate that in many dysregulated children, RFP-C can: Achieve symptomatic improvement and developmental maturation as a result of gains in the ability to tolerate and metabolize painful emotions, by addressing the crucial underlying emotional component. Diminish the child’s use of aggression as the main coping device by allowing painful emotions to be mastered more effectively. Help to systematically address avoidance mechanisms, talking to the child about how their disruptive behavior helps them avoid painful emotions. Facilitate development of an awareness that painful emotions do not have to be so vigorously warded off, allowing the child to reach this implicit awareness within the relationship with the clinician, which can then be expanded to life situations at home and at school. This handbook is the first to provide a manualized, short-term dynamic approach to the externalizing behaviors of childhood, offering organizing framework and detailed descriptions of the processes involved in RFP-C. Supplying clinicians with a systematic individual psychotherapy as an alternative or complement to PMT, CBT and psychotropic medication, it also shifts focus away from simply helping parents manage their children’s misbehaviors. Significantly, the approach shows that clinical work with these children is compatible with understanding the children’s brain functioning, and posits that contemporary affect-oriented conceptualizations of defense mechanisms are theoretically similar to the neuroscience construct of implicit emotion regulation, promoting an interface between psychodynamics and contemporary academic psychiatry and psychology.Manual of Regulation-Focused Psychotherapy for Children (RFP-C) with Externalizing Behaviors: A Psychodynamic Approach is a comprehensive tool capable of application at all levels of professional training, offering a new approach for psychoanalysts, child and adolescent counselors, psychotherapists and mental health clinicians in fields including social work, psychology and psychiatry.
