Selected Problems of Adolescence Author:Helene Deutsch "Dr. Helen Deutsch, who has been associated w/ psychoanalysis since 1918, has used her partial retirement from active practice to engage in an unorthodox study of contemporary adolescents. Taking her immense clinical experience and her own pioneering contributions to psychoanalysis for granted, she embarked on a novel approach 'to find out what ... more »makes today's youth tick.' This investigation has resulted in the current monograph, in which Dr. Deutsch describes her method of establishing contact w/ a large # of adolescents and of utilizing what she calls 'the grandmother transference.' She also depicts the many things she learned from these youths. She focuses her on carefully selected problems. Among them are: ...the alienated adolescents and their fear of loneliness; the adolescents' wish for identity between boys and girls; the bisexual fantasy anf immortality; ...illegitimate motherhood."« less
