Abstract

The authors examine the role of a traditional treatment approach—psychoanalytically oriented child psychotherapy—in an innovative special school program designed to help hitherto unreachable early latency children from core city problem families. The findings suggest the possibility that it might indeed be a disservice to these children not to offer them a chance at the psychotherapeutic approach at the same time that they receive special schooling and environmental intervention.
