ABSTRACT
First published in 1998. Children are not just ordinary patients in psychotherapeutic practice. They present many special problems- they don't come voluntarily and often claim to have no problem, may be nonverbal, have difficult sitting still, and may leave the therapist at a loss as to how to use his or her knowledge and techniques. In this volume two highly experienced therapists and teacher o therapists introduce the beginning child psychotherapist to this perplexing world of children.
