The Emerging Child is a well written, interesting, and informative text about young children in a therapeutic nursery...Through interpretation and sensitivity on the part of the teacher-therapist, the children begin to form interpersonal attachments which, it is hoped, will continue to stimulate them even after they have left the nursery.
The focus of this book is the disturbed pre-school child. The authors provide specific guidelines for diagnosis and identification of such children. They also provide a wealth of examples of appropriate therapeutic help for the 4 and 5 year old child who is in need of such skilled intervention.
Mary Jane Witenberg and Phyllis Brusiloff write about a most important means of early detection, diagnosis, and treatment of developmental problems in preschool children.
