First sentence: In the course of a day, I may see a 5-year-old boy who refuses to use the toilet, insisting instead on wearing a diaper prior to having a bowel movement; a 21-year-old young man with Asperger's syndrome; a 7-year-old girl who is having difficulties adjusting to her school situation; a college student with a history of depression and a current substance abuse problem; a 12-year-old boy with social skills problems and significant parent-child conflict; a selectively mute 9-year-old girl; and a married couple in conflict about how best to help their anxious child with obsessive-compulsive tendencies or their child with pervasive developmental disorder (PDD).
