Emotions in Child Psychotherapy: An Integrative Framework
"It is refreshing and even inspiring to come across a book like Kenneth Barish's....Barish is remarkable in his ability to draw comfortably from many different intellectual streams simultaneously. While psychoanalysis remains his fountainhead, he is glad to acknowledge the contributions of developmental psychopathology, cognitive behavioral treatment, ethology, cognitive psychology, and neuropsychology...It is heartening to have such an elegantly integrated and optimistc perspective on child psychotherapy available. I heartily recommend it to all trainees, but I especially urge more senior psychotherapists and psychoanalysts to give it their time and attention. I predict that Barish's integrative framework will allow them to see their work--with adults as well as with children--in a new light and that their therapeutic technique will be the better for having read this book."--Paul M. Brinich, as reviewed inPsycCRITIQUES"As a child therapist and a parent, I am much the richer for having read Barish's work." --Henry Kronengold, PhD,Psychoanalytic Psychology
