Early Development and its Disturbances: Clinical, Conceptual and Empirical Research on ADHD and other Psychopathologies and its Epistemological Reflections (Developments in Psychoanalysis)

This is one of the first psychoanalytic books devoted to ADHD and other disturbances of early development. Some of the papers of this volume have been presented at the 9th Joseph Sandler Research Conference which took place in Frankfurt, organized by both Research Subcommittees of the International Psychoanalytical Association: The Research Subcommittee for Empirical Research (Chair: Peter Fonagy) and the Research Subcommittee for Clinical, Conceptual, Historical and Epistemological Research (Chair: Marianne Leuzinger-Bohleber). The research conference carried the name of Joseph Sandler, one of the most productive psychoanalytic researchers of the last decades. With this volume the authors contribute to a more intensive engagement of psychoanalysts in this field.
