Other problems arise when pills are used defensively to localize a family pathology in the child who receives the prescription. Furthermore, when medications are used to manage a child’s feelings, confusions may result about the signal function of emotions, truncating development. Cases of young adults, prescribed medications in childhood, are reviewed, with particular attention to developmental consequences. This session explores dynamic mechanisms of harm and examples of psychotherapeutic work that can help such patients seek healthier developmental paths. | | MP3 | | $10.00 | | $10.00 | |
