Table of ContentsReviews"""...[this book] will whet the appetite to learn more and see what these techniques offer for a rapid, deep understanding of patients."" —Readings ""...offers clinicians a comprehensive paradigm for assessing object relations functioning in disturbed adolescents."" —Child Assessment News ""Filling a significant gap in the clinical assessment literature, Francis Kelly persuasively demonstrates the efficacy of object relations theory and of two object relations measures--the Mutuality of Autonomy Scale and the Social Cognition Object Relations Scale--for systematically understanding the inner life of disturbed and nondisturbed adolescents. Applying these theoretically-based, innovative measures both quantitatively and phenomenologically, Kelly convincingly argues that an assessment of object relations permits the clinician to move beyond actuarial measures with their narrow emphasis on manifest behavior to a more structural-dynamic assessment that can then be employed to inform and guide treatment. Those involved in the assessment and treatment of the adolescent will find this book a gold mine."" ""Dr. Kelly has used his thorough knowledge of object relations theory and his extensive clinical experience in working with adolescents to produce a superb and exciting work. He demonstrates that knowledge of the adolescent's developmental level of object representation is critical for treatment planning; the benefit of this informed theoretical framework over a diagnosis based solely on behavioral symptoms is made clear. Through numerous case examples and clear explanations of how to assess object representations with projective techniques, Dr. Kelly provides a service to both clinicians and researchers in this important area of adolescent development."" —Phebe Cramer Williams College" ""...[this book] will whet the appetite to learn more and see what these techniques offer for a rapid, deep understanding of patients."" —Readings ""...offers clinicians a comprehensive paradigm for assessing object relations functioning in disturbed adolescents."" —Child Assessment News ""Filling a significant gap in the clinical assessment literature, Francis Kelly persuasively demonstrates the efficacy of object relations theory and of two object relations measures--the Mutuality of Autonomy Scale and the Social Cognition Object Relations Scale--for systematically understanding the inner life of disturbed and nondisturbed adolescents.
