This program of readings and discussion of clinical material focuses on working with families and parents from a psychodynamic perspective.

A child or adolescent cannot be thought about outside the context of their family and parents. The tension of working with the individual child and/or the family or parents is a constant issue in child and adolescent work. These tensions will be explored in these seminars with theoretical and practical issues being discussed from a psychoanalytic perspective.

This seminar is led by Dr. Jeanne Magagna and Sally Young.
