Abstract
The clinical treatment of an adolescent young adult male is presented to both illustrate and operationalize the author's hypothesis that a new model of relational psychoanalytic treatment is likely to have beneficial effects, particularly among this population. The contention that males as young boys undergo a normative trauma of premature separation in our society, which is likely to give rise to underdiagnosed abandonment depressive syndromes in teenage boys, is argued. It is represented that psychotherapists attempting to diagnose and treat a wide rage of disorders in young males would do well to rethink their approach from this new perspective.
