Emerging Child

Beschreibung

TheEmerging Child presents the background, nature, techniques, and implications of the Therapeutic Nursery Group (TNG). TNG was established in 1956 to provide emotionally and behaviorally disturbed pre-school children with a group play therapy experience under the leadership of a special nursery group-teacher-therapist. The basic rationale of this program was that the early detection and treatment of psychological disturbances serve as a constructive influence on the child's current and subsequent personal and social adaptation.

Autor

Phyllis Brusiloff was the principal investigator of a national institute of mental health grant, replicating the program in four New York City day care centers. She also consulted to the Early Childhood Division of North Carolina and lectures across the country for programs in psychology, psychiatry, and early childhood education. Mary Jane Witenberg was the epitome of a sensitive, supportive nursery school teacher who enhanced the lives of all the children in her classrooms. Dr. Clarice Kestenbaum, who wrote the introduction, is currently Professor of Clinical Psychiatry emeritus and Training Director emeritus in the Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at Columbia University's College of Physicians and Surgeons. The Emerging Child is still an integral part of her curriculum.
