Childhood revealed : art expressing pain, discovery & hope
This moving and enlightening book provides a window into the worlds of children with emotional, mental, or physical problems. Created by the prestigious New York University Child Study Center, a leading American institution dedicated to advancing research and clinical care for children, the book is part of a major initiative to increase public awareness about the care that an estimated one in eight children so desperately need. More than 100 artworks by children ages 418 reflect the process of coping with such problems as depression, divorce, eating disorders, psychosis, learning differences, physical illness, and abuse. Experts provide the most current, practical information on treatment and prognosis for the various disorders, while words from the children themselves shed additional light on this subject of grave national concern
