Books by Margot Waddell

This book offers helpful advice to parents whose children have reached the turbulent teenage years. From conflict management to issues of bullying, stealing and smoking, it guides parents as their children alternate between maturity and immaturity and develop their own identity.

The authors - who are experienced teachers and analysts - examine the ways in which Kleinian and psyhoanalytic ideas can be put to work in the classroom. The role of phantasy in the student-teacher relationship receives detailed attention.
