Summary:

As past president of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and the American Association of Children's Residential Centers, Joseph Noshpitz was at the forefront of psychodynamic treatment and research with children and adolescents for more than 40 years. Editor-in-chief of the seven-volume Handbook of Child Psychiatry and co-author of the two-volume Pathways of Growth: Essentials of Child Psychiatry, Noshpitz's innovative ideas are grounded in the developmental theories of Freud, Mahler, and Kernberg.

These previously unpublished papers are introduced by experts who contemporize and contextualize the work for the modern reader and include ethics in child development, narcissism in the grade school years, tomboyism, idealization, negative ego ideals, and self-destructiveness in adolescence. More applied papers delve into the formative appeal of literature for adolescent girls, and the creative early motivations behind art, music, dance, mime, and poetry.

Noshpitz's thoughtful commentaries and analyses demonstrate his intrinsic curiosity, joy of learning, generosity, and sensitivity to the myriad struggles of youth. His psycho, dynamic sensibility and advocacy for wider preventive family interventions are a contrast to this era of quick psychopharmacological fixes, cognitive-behavioral approaches, and managed care.
