Clinical Notes on Child Analysis*
by Berta Bornstein
Introduction by
Ruth Karush, M.D.
In her classic 1945 paper, Berta Bornstein clearly and succinctly introduced her technical approach to the interpretation of defenses in children. By clinical example, she demonstrated how this can be done without inflicting painful narcissistic injury on our patients. Her ideas form the basis of our current approach to addressing a patient’s defenses in both defense analysis and in psychotherapy, not only in children but in all analytically informed treatments of adults and adolescents.
Dr. Hoffman is a Training and Supervising Analyst (adult, child and adolescent), Co-Director of the Pacella Parent Child Center, and Co-Director of the Research Center of NYPSI. He is on the Faculty of the Mount Sinai School of Medicine and Chief Psychiatrist at the West End Day School in NYC.
