title: Dialogue with the Novicks.
abstract: Two of the editors of The Psychoanalytic Study of the Child converse with authors Kerry Kelly Novick and Jack Novick, Ph.D., about their paper "Concurrent Work with Parents of Adolescent Patients." Highlights include the authors' stated goal of restoring a positive relationship to the teen-parent bond, a new extension of the work of analysis with adolescents, the transference-countertransference complexities when the same analyst works with both adolescent and parents, and the uses of the term transformation--its traditional meaning in the developmental process of the individual and the authors' conceptualization of the term in their adolescent-parent treatment paradigm.
