As we undertook our task, we found ourselves engaged as much in a review and assessment of the field of psychoanalysis as a whole as of child and adolescent analysis alone. What emerged from our deliberations was an awareness that psychoanalysis has reached a degree of maturity that not only permits but calls for a shift of emphasis within our conceptual framework. The psychoanalytic treatment of the neuroses continues to be of central importance, but it is not adequate as an exclusive frame of reference for understanding and evaluating advances in theory and analytic method. The thesis and theme of this report is that the developmental orientation and approach provides a broader frame of reference, one wherein the psychoanalytic theory and treatment of neuroses occupy a position of prominence in an expanding spectrum of theories of psychopathology and treatment modalities.
