For several decades, Steven Tuber has been among our foremost educators in teaching and supervising child clinical psychology and psychotherapy. In Early Encounters with Children and Adolescents, we all reap the benefit of his curiosity, creativity, keen intelligence, and the depth of his clinical and pedagogical skills. This book will help a new generation learn to treat children and establish identities as child clinical psychotherapists. Lewis Aron, PhD, director, New York University Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis In this touching compendium, renowned Winnicottian Steven Tuber assembles a group of rookie child psychotherapists to describe their work. As their patients gradually learn safely to play, rage, and cry often for the first time so too their therapists show, with impressive honesty, the first steps towards the poignant balance between realism and hope, technique and spontaneity, that is the hallmark of clinical competence. This is a brilliant teaching text, and essential reading for child psychotherapists and their trainers. Jeremy Holmes, MD, University of Exeter, United Kingdom Steve Tuber further extends his role as a master teacher of child therapy in this brilliantly conceived volume. The superb beginning therapists who describe their struggles and their impressive insights and innovations depict a wide range of dilemmas that child therapists regularly encounter but that are often omitted in the airbrushed presentations of how brilliant I am by name brand therapists. This is a volume rooted in the facts on the ground, and it will be of continuing value not just for beginners but for any child therapist who recognizes that ours is a profession where continuing to learn and reflect is of the very essence of what we do. Paul L. Wachtel, PhD, CUNY Distinguished Professor in the doctoral program in clinical psychology at City College and the Graduate Center of the City University of New York
