Depression and Mourning
In the consideration of depression and mourning in childhood, the major question is not whether these reactions and processes are the same as for adults. They are not. The major question is whether it is productive, recognizing the dynamic maturational and developmental continuum that is encompassed, to use the same terms and to establish connections between these childhood and adult conditions.

From Play to Playfulness in Children and Adults
(20 pp.)
The Many Meanings of Play:A Psychoanalytic Perspective
From its very beginnings, child psychoanalysis has relied on observations of children at play in both natural and therapeutic settings as a source of information about the mental life of children. Play is known to be an effective means for the child to come to understand and cope with unhappiness and conflict. And the collaborative play of analyst and patient has served as an important way for the analyst to convey insights to the child. Further, these and other meanings of play have ramifications throughout adolescence and even adulthood, so that play is a crucial subject of study for all clinicians. In this book, prominent psychoanalysts explore children’s play and its implications throughout life. (447 pgs)
