Summary:

TheEmerging Child presents the background, nature, techniques, and implications of the Therapeutic Nursery Group (TNG). TNG was established in 1956 to provide emotionally and behaviorally disturbed pre-school children with a group play therapy experience under the leadership of a special nursery group-teacher-therapist. The basic rationale of this program was that the early detection and treatment of psychological disturbances serve as a constructive influence on the child's current and subsequent personal and social adaptation.
