Capturing the complexities of working with abused children, the author explores the intrapsychic worlds of these youngsters and examines many of the paradoxes and complications encountered when treating them. The book traces the interplay of neurobiological and psychological facets of behaviour to show how abuse derails normal development and how psychodynamic psychotherapy can re-establish emotional connections. This volume should be of interest to therapists working with children, including both seasoned practitioners and newcomers to the field.
