description: Why and how therapy with even the most challenging kids can work. Terr presents highly effective child psychotherapeutic styles and techniques and demonstrates them in three ways: by relating “moments” from at least six of her own cases; by conveying and comparing “moments” from 33 of her distinguished colleagues’ cases; and by watching her “wild child” patient, little Cammie, develop her own eight “magical moments” over a period of fifteen years. These “moments” are rare. But by pooling them together, or by looking at how they develop over a long period of time in a single individual, readers are able to achieve further understanding of the process of change in child and adolescent psychotherapy.
