- Abstract
This book review discusses "Transforming Infantile Trauma in Analytic Work with Children and Adults: The Clinical Writings of Alessandra Cavalli," a collection of papers by Alessandra Cavalli, a Jungian-trained analyst. The book explores Cavalli's work with severely traumatized children and adults, focusing on the impact of early infantile trauma on the developing self. The review highlights Cavalli's dedication to establishing meaningful emotional connections with her patients and her persistence in trying to communicate with highly defended children. It also mentions Cavalli's exploration of intergenerational trauma and her consultancy work with a staff team at a home for street children in Mexico. The reviewer recommends the book to child and adult psychotherapists.
