TY - JOUR PY - 2001// TI - Brief communications from the edge: psychotherapy with challenging adolescents JO - Journal of child psychotherapy A1 - Horne, Anne SP - 3 EP - 3 VL - 27 IS - 1 N2 - Issues of technique in work with adolescents who, if adult, would attract a forensic label, are discussed with especial focus on interpretation and countertransference in the light of primitive anxieties and body-based mechanisms of defence. The therapist as 'new object' and 'developmental object' is explored. The case study of Matthew - a mid-adolescent who has abused a younger child, is delinquent, seeks violent and dangerous situations and experiences outbursts of aggression - is used as illustration throughout. Keywords: Interpretation; Developmental; And; Psychoanalytic; Stance; Delinquency; Sexual; Abuse; Aggression
