| Summary |
"In this paper, a sensitive clinician shares his perspective and his methods of working with children. He offers insights into what is involved in therapeutic work with children and how, in children's creative play and artwork, we are given clues to their inner needs and perspectives. The theoretical orientation of the author is eclectic, and in his presentation he provides a basic orientation toward work with children which can integrate with the specialized emphases of any of the major personality theories. Though case records are drawn upon, the materials illuminate the generalizations concerning children, rather than offering insights into selected deviants. Here is a discussion by a therapist which will help the student of psychology recognize the importance of analyzing behavior. It avoids dogmatism in interpretation, offers no standardized formula for translating play and art products. Yet few will be able to read it without having their appreciation of children deepened and their sensitivity to the meaningfulness of children's productions increased"--Foreword.
