Introduction
This course will use a psychoanalytic lens to view the progression from early adolescence to emerging adulthood. We will examine sub phases of adolescence, then move into common treatment issues. We will address working with issues around gender and sexuality, individuation, and the role of adolescence in treatment of adults.
If you would like an overview of child development, please use Gilmore and Meersand, (2015), The Little Book of Child and Adolescent and Development. New York: Oxford Press.
