Clinical Issues in Adolescence

This course will introduce students to thinking about adolescent psychotherapy from a developmental perspective. The course will incorporate contemporary psychoanalytic perspective as well as contributions from developmental, cognitive and social psychology. Additionally, the perspectives of adolescents typically under-represented in the literature will be discussed. Major areas of adolescent experience will be discussed: identity, peer and familial relationships, and sexuality. In the last six classes, we will explore the "nuts and bolts" of psychotherapy with adolescents and briefly examine psychopathologies that emerge in adolescence.
