Summary:

The studies by J.L. Despert which constitute the present volume represent distinct contributions to an understanding and to the treatment of emotional problems in children. They should be of very material assistance to other workers who are attempting to deal with similar problems in hospitals, schools, or child guidance clinics. The techniques described by Despert have the special advantage of comparative simplicity and general applicability with problem children, not requiring in their use any special organization as existed at the New York State Psychiatric Institute and Hospital, where Despert was employed.
