Abstract
The purpose of this chapter is to present the theoretical underpinnings of a method of treating children and adolescents exhibiting major psychopathology. The method is psychotherapy, which is based on psychodynamic principles, rather than on learning theories, which in themselves are quite varied (see Chapters 4 and 5 of this book).
