This book is a collection of essays covering the essential ingredients of depth psychotherapy with youth who have been severely wounded by toxic societal influences including abuse, violence, trauma, poverty, devaluation, traumatic or repeated losses, discrimination of all forms, as well as humiliation resulting from devaluation in its many guises. The subjects are not the kids usually included in studies of evidence-based practices because they are excluded due to co-morbidity or the severity of their conditions. Yet it is a hopeful book that expresses the conviction that healing can take place in the context of a committed, in depth, empathy and relationship-based approach.
