      John Woods presents a theoretical approach and practical suggestions for mental health practitioners working therapeutically with young people who have abused. Drawing on his long-standing experience, he has developed an integrated theory that bridges the gap between existing cognitive behavioural and psychoanalytic approaches. He shows how this individual treatment model can be applied in a range of contexts including residential settings, group and family work, as well as in individual work. In-depth case studies throughout the book demonstrate how exploring the individual's whole life-course within a psychoanalytic framework enables connections to be drawn between possible childhood abuse and subsequent abusive behaviour. Guidelines are presented on working with the problems of self-destructiveness, masochism and depression facing the young abused/abuser and the impact of sexual abuse on sexuality, gender identity and sexual orientation. This is an instructive and thought-provoking text for all mental health practitioners and allied professionals working with adolescents who sexually offend.

      " « On m'appelle Chevy parce que j'ai le derrière très large, comme une Chevrolet. Ce surnom remonte au début du collège. Les garçons de la campagne sont très intelligents et délicats. » . À dix-huit ans, Amy Wirkner est aussi lucide qu'intelligente. Et elle n'attend qu'une chose : obtenir une bourse d'études universitaires pour quitter ce trou perdu de l'Ohio où elle vit. Dans cette région rongée par l'industrie du gaz de schiste, on ne donne pas cher de la peau des habitants. Amy est d'ailleurs persuadée que les malformations de son petit frère en sont la conséquence. Est-ce pour cette raison qu'elle se laisse entraîner par son meilleur ami, Paul, dans un plan dangereux ? Confrontée à la police, Amy voit ses projets d'avenir menacés. Mais elle ne permettra à personne de détruire ses rêves. Dans ce premier roman noir, puissant et dérangeant, John Woods dresse un portrait sans concession d'une Amérique à la dérive, entre haine interraciale, violence, corruption policière et dégradation écologique. Lady Chevy s'impose comme une anti-héroïne inoubliable faisant magistralement écho à notre époque troublée."--Quatrième de couverture
