Abstract

This paper focuses on the latent, underlying hostility that we feel exists between adoptive parents and their adopted children. The focus of this study is on the adolescent adoptee who is struggling with a "double" identity-crisis. Also addressed are countertransference feelings between the adoptive parent and the adolescent adoptee.
