'For many years, Moses Laufer and his colleagues at the Brent Adolescent Centre/Centre for Research into Adolescent Breakdown have made important contributions to our understanding of the assessment and treatment of psychiatric disorder in adolescenceThis new monograph underscores, with rich clinical documentation, the urgency of these tasks and the value of a psychoanalytic developmental perspective in pursuing them. It will be of value to all professionals who work with young people, and should be essential reading for those concerned with public policy as well.'- Aaron H.
