<p>‘Well, Mary Brady has done it yet again. This is a beautiful book, full of tumult, turbulence, bravery and grace. The clinical work is outstanding, and the image of surfing is the most apt we clinicians have ever been provided with for adolescent treatment. I used to think of tightropes, but surfing takes you forward somewhere - maybe even somewhere thrilling.’</p><p><b>Anne Alvarez, PhD, MACP, </b><i>Consultant Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist</i> </p><p>‘In publishing this book, Mary Brady invites us to embark on a journey, and she does so with a skill that can only be acquired through years of clinical practice, deep reflection, and experience in writing and publishing in psychoanalysis. This excellent book invites us to surf its pages, glide through them, and share the exciting experience of analyzing adolescents - the true protagonists of all the significant historical changes ahead.’</p><p><b>Virginia Ungar, MD, </b><i>Past President of the International Psychoanalytic Association (2017 – 2021)</i></p><p>‘Based on her clinical expertise with children and adolescents, Mary Brady’s book captures the essence and the complexity of psychoanalytic technique with young patients who are in pain and in severely damaged environments. The book includes beautiful chapters, some in collaboration with other eminent psychoanalysts. The diversity of clinical work presented here and the rigor of theory, for instance in the usage of Wilfred Bion and Donald Winnicott makes this book stand out. I have no doubt that it will be of great interest to those working in the field of mental health.’ </p><p><b>Christine Anzieu-Premmereur</b>, <i>MD, PhD, Chair of the IPA Committee on Child and Adolescent Psychoanalysis</i></p>
