It constitutes a bridge between the first stormy years of child development and adolescence. The conflicts and libidinous wishes of early childhood are relegated to the background and become latent: in general, an emotional and physical stabilization occurs. The child is attempting to find its place in the world. Accordingly, its primary interest is no longer in itself or its parents, but in the outside world. This is particularly manifested in forms of play typical for this age range, strongly influenced by imitation of the adult world and reality-oriented. At the same time, the body is explored (and its awareness is strengthened through numerous games involving movement, skill and competition. In all societies, this period is when school begins.The latency development includes new physical and intellectual capabilities as well as the development of new ways to deal with problems of social hierarchy; gradually, tolerance of tensions and a stabilization of identity are developed as well. The acquirement of knowledge and new forms of independence are at the forefront, leading Freud to speak of the \"golden age\" of childhood. Due to increased emotional defences, feelings are now shown less directly. The reaction-formation and sublimation are the central defensive mechanisms of latency. However, if a regression into the behaviour of early childhood occurs-bound to be embarrassing to the child who is now more oriented to the outside world-a massive form of emotional denial as a defence mechanism can occur.This book closes a gap in psychoanalytic literature. Here, the significance of this important new period is emphasized. When development is disturbed through massive inner conflicts, earlier disturbances re-emerge that are manifested in learning problems, obvious behavioural problems, temper tantrums, and tendencies towards withdrawal or violence. Numerous examples and scenes from family life and school supply a dynamic picture of psychological latency. The detailed case studies from child psychoanalysis afford insight into psychoanalytic techniques with children. The method of psychoanalytic observation allows the reader emotional empathy with what occurs in therapy; both the feelings of the children and of the therapist can thus be experienced and understood.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50401092272401,"sku":"CIN1782205438G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1782205438.jpg?v=1751090175"},{"product_id":"early-years-of-life-book-gertraud-diem-wille-9781855757103","title":"The Early Years of Life","description":"'This book provides a powerfully argued and beautifully constructed account of the early development of the child in the family context from a psychoanalytic perspective. It draws particularly on the theoretical trajectory from Freud to Klein and Bion. It is written in a clear, accessible and jargon-free style and it is evident that the author wishes to reach and interest a wide audience of parents and others involved in the upbringing of children in the broadest sense. The growth of the child's mind is the story she wants to tell. The wealth of detailed examples drawn from the systematic observation of babies and young children, from more everyday observation of children's behaviour in family and social contexts and from a range of clinical interventions draws the reader into a vivid understanding of the author's conceptual framework and provides many memorable vignettes of children's lives.The method of presentation, in which the descriptive material is followed by an interpretation of its psychological and developmental significance, offers the opportunity to immerse oneself in an account of the detailed play and interactions of a child with parents or therapist or other children and then to draw back and think about the complex processes one has been privileged to observe'.- Margaret Rustin, from the Preface","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":50697596600593,"sku":"NGR9781855757103","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50916262773009,"sku":"GOR009017884","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51350555427089,"sku":"GOR011989272","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1855757109.jpg?v=1750899086"},{"product_id":"weltanschauungen-des-wiener-fin-de-siecle-1900-2000-book-gertraud-diem-wille-9783631362570","title":"Weltanschauungen des Wiener Fin de Siecle 1900\/2000","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52134632259857,"sku":"NLS9783631362570","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9783631362570.jpg?v=1757544143"},{"product_id":"psychoanalytic-perspectives-on-puberty-and-adolescence-book-gertraud-diem-wille-9780367368500","title":"Psychoanalytic Perspectives on Puberty and Adolescence","description":"Puberty is a time of tumultuous transition from childhood to adulthood activated by rapid physical changes, hormonal development and explosive activity of neurons. This book explores puberty through the parent-teenager relationship, as a \"normal state of crisis\", lasting several years and with the teenager oscillating between childlike tendencies and their desire to become an adult.  The more parents succeed in recognizing and experiencing these new challenges as an integral, ineluctable emotional transformative process, the more they can allow their children to become independent. In addition, parents who can also see this crisis as a chance for their own further development will be ultimately enriched by this painful process. They can face up to their own aging as they take leave of youth with its myriad possibilities, accepting and working through a newfound rivalry with their sexually mature children, thus experiencing a process of maturity, which in turn can set an example for their children.  This book is based on rich clinical observations from international settings, unique within the field, and there is an emphasis placed by the author on the role of the body in self-awareness, identity crises and gender construction. It will be of great interest to psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, parents and carers, as well as all those interacting with adolescents in self, family and society.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52429545177361,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52429545734417,"sku":"NLS9780367368500","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780367368500.jpg?v=1759167189"},{"product_id":"psychoanalytic-perspectives-on-puberty-and-adolescence-book-gertraud-diem-wille-9780367368524","title":"Psychoanalytic Perspectives on Puberty and Adolescence","description":"Puberty is a time of tumultuous transition from childhood to adulthood activated by rapid physical changes, hormonal development and explosive activity of neurons.

It follows the development of the child's relationship to his or her parents from birth until the end of the third year. The psychoanalytic understanding of earlier patterns of experience is expertly presented to the reader. For readers looking for an introduction to the many different psychoanayltical theories about the early years, this book offers a comprehensive guide to the most important directions.Diem-Wille's experience as psychoanalyst, professor of education, and organising tutor of a university course for teachers, and as a mother and grandmother, all enrich her writing and contribute to the breadth of this remarkable book. The author combines consideration of the physical interwoven with the psycho-social development in the first, second and third years of life; she looks at the experience of the relationship at each stage from both the child's and the parent's perspective; and she discusses theory and gives hints to parents and teachers about how to observe the non-verbal communication of babies and children and respond to their needs. It is a book which will be of great value to parents, teachers, paediatricians and all those concerned with furthering the understanding of children.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52691264602385,"sku":"NLS9781780491431","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53036926763281,"sku":"NIN9781780491431","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781780491431.jpg?v=1762339407"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-gertraud-diem-wille.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
