Psychoneurosen des Kindesalters

Children develop in close relationships with their parents and/or relevant caregivers. Parents cannot think without their children and children cannot think without their parents. This opens up the psychodynamic understanding of neurotic symptoms on the basis of early or current relationship disorders, the symptoms of which always have an appellative character. If we only treat the "disorder", we all too quickly ignore what the child is unconsciously trying to draw our attention to, what is disturbing it and what is disturbing it in the family.The authors provide food for thought and discuss in depth what the child wants to express through the symptom. Discussed are Eating disorders, anxiety disorders, depression, encopresis, enuresis, psychosomatic clinical pictures, compulsions, speech and thought disorders, learning and performance disorders, externalised behaviour, relationship traumatisation and regression. The book is aimed at candidates for further training as child and adolescent psychotherapists, practising colleagues and those working with children and parents in the psychosocial field.
