By providing historical comparison of their development, Holder (editor, Bulletin of the European Psychoanalytical Association and International Psychoanalysis) delineates the theoretical and methodological differences between Anna Freud's child psychoanalysis and Melanie Klein's analytical child psychotherapy Mental health interventions for children vary with respect to the problem being addressed and to the age and other individual characteristics of the child. Although such interventions share some approaches, treatment methods can be quite different from each other. . He then illustrates these differences through discussion of one his own cases. He also considers the analysis of adolescents as a separate realm from child psychotherapy. Finally, he concludes with a discussion of how child psychotherapy can add to the practices of adult analysts and therapists. Distributed in the US by Stylus stylus: see pen.
