Local notes
Many of the problems besetting children and their families are manifesting themselves with distressingly increasing frequency during the years when conflicts are supposed to be dormant, while social activities, sports, and learning are enjoyed. Thus, a study of drawings may tell why a given child is acting out while others are sublimating. Often, the anger, void, and unhappiness repressed from verbal expression are freely externalized in graphic activity well before the struggle for containment may bow to the overpowering demands of adolescence. - from the preface
