The Astonishing Adolescent Upheaval in Psychoanalysis 1st Edition

Capture the turbulence of teenage inner worlds with The Astonishing Adolescent Upheaval in Psychoanalysis, 1st Edition by Roosevelt Cassorla. This compelling new work pulls you into the heart of adolescent transformation, offering a lucid and empathetic examination of the conflicts, defences, and breakthroughs that define this critical developmental stage.

Cassorla combines rigorous psychoanalytic theory with vivid clinical insight to illuminate why adolescence so often appears as upheaval—and how that upheaval can become the raw material for growth. Readers will find clear explanations of shifting object relations, identity formation, and the interplay of sexuality, aggression, and dependency. Rich case vignettes and conceptual maps guide clinicians through assessment, formulation, and therapeutic technique without sacrificing intellectual nuance.

Ideal for psychoanalysts, child and adolescent psychiatrists, psychotherapists, counselors, and advanced students, this volume bridges academic scholarship and everyday clinical practice. It equips practitioners with practical approaches to build trust, manage ruptures, and foster resilience in young clients. The writing is accessible yet authoritative, making it equally valuable for seminar discussion, supervision, and continuing professional development.

Whether you work in North America, the UK, Europe, Australia, or within global mental health settings, Cassorla’s insights are applicable across cultural contexts and therapeutic models. Add this essential resource to your professional library to deepen your understanding of adolescent development and improve therapeutic outcomes.
