Sommario/riassunto

The author presents a theoretical approach and practical suggestions for mental health practitioners working with young people who have abused. The book demonstrates how exploring an individual's whole



life-course within a psychoanalytic framework enables connections to be drawn between possible childhood abuse and subsequent abusive behaviour.
