| Summary |
"Psychoanalytic Perspectives on Developmental Psychology" explores the growing areas of mutual influence between psychoanalytic theory and the study of human development. /// This volume explores the shift in the psychodynamic conceptualization of the infant-caretaker relationship toward the active role of the child, and the reciprocal influence between parent and child--and, by extension, between therapist and patient. Developmental psychologists now use the language of object relations theory to describe how psychoanalytic thinking has shaped studies of identity development and the construction of self-concept. /// The empirical research examined in this volume highlights the expansion of psychoanalytic theory from infant and child development to a lifespan view, recognizing important developmental milestones throughout adolescence and adulthood and into the realm of aging.
