FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Children are our future. We need to treat them with dignity and respect. In that spirit, Sophie L. Lovinger - clinician, professor and parent - addresses the issues therapists encounter in dealing with children: the initial contact and the initial session; the therapeutic setting and play themes; the development of the child from birth through age 12; interpretation/intervention; resistance; transference/countertransference; dream work; termination. This book, designed for clinicians, speaks also to parents (whom Dr. Levinger seeks to engage as "at-home co-therapists") with informed compassion and the authority of experience, establishing standards for optimal treatment of children. Author Biography Dr. Sophie L. Lovinger is Professor Emerita at Central Michigan University, Professional Psychology Program Faculty Mentor at Walden University. She maintains a private practice in Charleston, SC. Long Description Dr. Lovinger describes the initial contact and the initial session and discusses intake, setting, play themes, and issues of differential emotional and cognitive development from birth through age 12. Then, as her psychodynamic perspective unfolds, she focuses on resistance, dreams, interpretation, transference, and countertransference - the last so problematic in child therapy that there are few references to it in the literature. In keeping with her emphasis on connecting with the whole child, Dr. Lovinger seeks to engage the parents in the process as what she calls at-home co-therapists. She makes a case for their informed participation to enhance and advance the therapy by establishing empathic communications with their children and stretching the therapeutic milieu.
