{"product_id":"9780765704733","title":"Adolescence and Delinquency: An Object-Relations Theory Approach","description":"This book applies modern object relations theory—particularly the concept of intersubjectivity as articulated by Thomas Ogden—to a population for which the \"treatment du jour\" is increasingly cognitive-behavioral. Taking his lead from the delinquent adolescents in his practice, Dr. Brodie presents a treatment approach based on respect rather than condescension. Adolescents are related to as people, rather than as transitory objects passing through a 'stage.' Rather than judging their feelings and behaviors as \"aberrant,\" the author views them as having emerged out of the complex matrix of his patients' lives. Adolescence and Delinqucney: An Object Relations Theory Approach is less an attempt to apply object relations theory to a particular population than it is an attempt to illuminate the seamlessness of theory and application. Theory and case examples are presented in a dialectical relationship, psychological theory having no meaning other than an attempt to understand real people, and the people we work with are unintelligible outside some systematic frame of reference.","brand":"Aronson, Jason Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47010855911664,"sku":"9780765704733","price":104.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780765704733_p0.jpg?v=1769906038","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780765704733","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
