In this volume, a well-known psychoanalyst, dance therapist, and
educational consultant chronicles her clinical work with deeply
troubled children who fall between the cracks of our diagnostic and
educational systems. These children, who frequently turn out to
have been sexually or punitively abused, have no real emotional
home despite the fact that they live in materially comfortable
circumstances. In spite of their apparent brightness and precocity,
they do not thrive in the classroom, where their disruptive
behavior, tendency to act out, and fragmented learning bring them
to the attention of teachers, counselors, and school psychologists.
Standard diagnoses do not explain their plight; such children are
neither retarded nor learning disabled nor neurotic.
Through poignant case studies, Siegel reviews the developmental
circumstances that bring these middle-class waifs to a critical
impasse with both their parents and the educational establishment.
Time and again she discovers that the children's expectable
developmental course has been derailed by their accommodation to
parental abuse and deformed parental expectations. Psychodynamic
treatment invariably uncovers the maladaptive solutions that fueled
the children's behavioral and learning disturbances.
This volume speaks to a broad clinical and non-clinical readership:
psychoanalytic clinicians; psychologists; counselors; social
workers; art, dance, and music therapists; special education
teachers; child therapists; and child care workers. They will all
join in admiration of Siegel's treatment approach which focuses on
what is healthy in deeply traumatized children and, in so doing,
helps debunk the myth of the untreatablechild.
