View from the Cradle Children's Emotions in Everyday Life

In this book Dr Weininger describes the uses made of a model of short-term therapy which takes the richness and complexity of the development of psychic life into account. The creative work with a small group of children, day students in a treatment centre for difficult young children, shows a new respect for the way a gradual introduction to short periods of a new type of atmosphere of treatment can over time have a profound and positive effect on the group. Anyone beginning child analysis will be grateful indeed for this book about the result of that work.
