This rare and important book will speak to a wide range of people, almost anyone who lives or works with children and sometimes wants to understand them better. Writing with decades of therapeutic experience, but with direct simplicity and humanity, we can feel the mystery of children's experiences, and yet how much they can make sense with patient, respectful and creative attention. I warmly recommend this book to interested parents, young people and to professionals who work with them. Like me, they may find it hard to put down! -Mary Target PhD, Professor of Psychoanalysis, University College London. This book combines the sensitivities of two extraordinary clinicians, analysts and fine human beings. The result is a view of work with children and young people which is a gift to all who work with such populations. Moreover, it is a must read for adult clinicians who know that their patient;s childhood figures prominently in the ways in which the mind is both organized and disorganized. Read it and learn. -James Herzog, Assistant Professor of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School, Adult and Child Training and Supervising Analyst, Boston Psychoanalytic Society and Institute, and Supervising Analyst, Sigmund Freud Institute, Zurich.
