"The new printing of a 1975 work in which Sugar (clinical psychiatry, Lousiana State U. and Tulane U.) presents 18 papers which present varied techniques and theories as experienced by the contributors in case studies from their own experiences. The papers are primarily of a psychoanalytic framework and take cognizance of the structural theory, developmental lines, and phase-specific needs of the adolescent. The papers are organized into two sections detailing the topic in group therapy and family therapy settings." --BookNews
