CHILDRENAbstract
How can we establish a constructive relationship with a child whose entire being is destructive? Does there exist a direct, non-intermediative method which will bring the disturbed child, proud possessor of a totally negative picture of the world, to agree to try to create a positive connection with his environment and to attempt to change his patterns of relationship and behavior?
