abstract="Queer children and LGBT youth often continue to find in the psychotherapeutic setting and the clinical literature an ill-prepared and even aversive reception. Suicidality among such children draws especially sharp attention to the need for better alternatives to current treatment modalities-the focus here is chiefly on the relational area, with its emphasis on the coupling norm and attachment theory-and, more broadly, for the further comprehensive development of queer-and LGBT-affirmative psychoanalytic theory and practice. In advocating for at-risk queer children, I also argue that the queer child is a meaningful transferential figure for the improved lifechances of psychoanalysis itself and for the enhanced role of psychoanalytic theory and practice in the realm of social transformation. © 2016 Macmillan Publishers Ltd.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
