My view of the psychoanalytic process encompasses the developmental nature of our life – of our present and past experiences. Through our communication, we work toward the discovery of one’s independence, creativity, and individuality – that is, becoming a person.
The goal with children and with adolescents is to restore them to the path of normal development. A developmental approach is utilized in assessment and treatment planning. The therapeutic time may include play, talk, and meeting with parents. Parental involvement in the process is crucial to the outcome of the endeavor.
