Adrian Sutton illustrates, through detailed clinical studies, how psychoanalytic theory can be applied in a healthcare setting involving the care of children and their families. *Pediatrics, Psychiatry, and Psychoanalysis* describes the impact of the patient on the practitioner, how conscious and unconscious elements need to be considered, and to what extent this can influence practice, improving diagnosis and therapeutic treatment.
*Pediatrics, Psychiatry, and Psychoanalysis* is an exploration of the central importance of the patient-doctor relationship and how the psychodynamics of this relationship are crucial in providing information that can aid treatment. It will be of interest to mental health professionals working with children: psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses, pediatricians, and those working in social work and educational settings.
