Abstrakt: "Developmental Evaluation of Children and Adolescents: A Psychodynamic Guide" by Blackman and Dring is a valuable resource for clinicians and trainees interested in psychodynamic and developmental approaches to child therapy. The book addresses the lack of accessible texts in this field and offers a language and structure that is digestible for those curious about psychodynamic theory. It provides a developmental understanding of children and teens, emphasizing the importance of thinking dynamically and attending to their interpersonal relationships. The book's organization around key questions and case studies helps readers apply psychodynamic concepts to real-life situations. However, the authors' tendency to make definitive statements and lack of citations for certain claims may limit the book's appeal to a wider audience. [Extracted from the article]
