Reviews

Growing Pains is a veritable treasure trove of the history of psychoanalytic perspectives on development. The contributors to this edited collection demonstrate the value of Margaret Mahler's separation-individuation theory, including the integration of attachment theory, trauma theory, and intersubjectivity of Mahler's object relations theory. -- Leon Hoffman M.D., New York Psychoanalytic Society and Institute, coauthor of the Manual of Regulation-Focused Psychotherapy for Children (RFP-C) with Externalizing Behaviors
