Research
Since the Centre was founded, one of our key objectives has been to further the understanding of adolescent mental health and the benefits of psychoanalytic talking therapies.
The Centre’s founders, Moses and Egle Laufer, wrote many papers and books on adolescent breakdown and therapeutic approaches to working with young people.
Our current research projects aim to address key clinical issues that will directly benefit young people:
- Adolescent Engagement in Therapy
- Understanding Adolescent Suicidality
- Delinquency and Adolescence
Publications
The founding psychoanalysts, Moe and Egle Laufer, and Brent Centre researchers more recently have written numerous publications regarding adolescent mental health. These include:
- Social Defences Against Anxiety: Explorations in a Paradigm
- Understanding Adolescent Suicidality
- Delinquency and Adolescence
