This book describes the use of short--term mentalization--based treatment with children (5-12 years old) who are experiencing emotional and behavioral problems, including anxiety, depression, and relational difficulties.

A Time-Limited Approach

Mentalization-Based Treatment for Children

This volume honours Anna Freud's work and legacy by providing a detailed summary of the Psychoanalytic Developmental Tradition and illustrations of its contributions to the field of Child Psychotherapy and beyond. Through the use of clinical, historical, anecdotal and outreach narratives, this book seeks to acknowledge how regardless of the evolution of child psychoanalytic theory and practice, and recent changes at the Anna Freud Centre in terms of a broad scope of trainings and interventions, the underlying psychoanalytic principles set by its founder continue to inform the work of clinicians and scholars, both within and outside this school of thought.
