Author Description

In this book Dorothy Baruch has presented as fiction the treatment of a seven-year-old boy and his parents. The author has charmingly portrayed the techniques employed in psychotherapy with children, for which the lay reader has little understanding when it is presented in a scientific form. This is indeed a service to a public surfeited with psychiatric trash and sensationalism. It presents a sincere picture of what goes on in the therapist's office in the treatment of a child.
