This book of case histories, written by a gifted and dedicated child therapist, is a most welcome and needed addition to the literature. It is reassuring and refreshing to hear that a humane environment enhances learning in children and that overemphasis on specialized remedial help can make us forget that children are whole human beings with a primary need to be understood. - Anni Bergman, Ph.D., Professor Clinical Psychology, CUNY ... a most welcome and needed addition to the literature. -Anni Bergman The City University of New York The children's pathology and the author's highly devoted and committed therapeutic approaches, using art, music and dance in addition to verbal interaction, are described in great detail. They make fascinating reading for anyone wishing to deepen his or her understanding of the psyche of children as well as the influence of parental pathology, misguided beliefs and ambitions on the development of their offspring. -Kurt Glaser, M.D. American Journal of Psychotherapy Elaine Siegel's Middle Class Waifs alerts mental health professionals to the consequences of severe emotional deprivation and abuse in children who live in middle-class, seemingly intact families, and whose initial presentation may be no more alarming than a behavioral problem or a learning disability. The book is highly recommended to those who have long been looking for guidance in this neglected area. -Anna Ornstein, M.D. University of Cincinnati
