Taking his lead from the delinquent adolescents in his practice, Dr. Brodie presents a treatment approach based on respect rather than condescension. Adolescents are related to as people, rather than as transitory objects passing through a 'stage.' Rather than judging their feelings and behaviors as \"aberrant,\" the author views them as having emerged out of the complex matrix of his patients' lives. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eAdolescence and Delinqucney: An Object Relations Theory Approach\u003c\/i\u003e is less an attempt to apply object relations theory to a particular population than it is an attempt to illuminate the seamlessness of theory and application. Theory and case examples are presented in a dialectical relationship, psychological theory having no meaning other than an attempt to understand real people, and the people we work with are unintelligible outside some systematic frame of reference.","brand":"Jason Aronson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47586285617303,"sku":"9780765704740","price":6353.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780765704740.webp?v=1774963459","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/adolescence-and-delinquency-an-object-relations-theory-approach-9780765704740","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
