Magical Moments of Change

Terr presents highly effective child psychotherapeutic stylesand techniques and demonstrates them in three ways: byrelating “moments” from at least six of her own cases; byconveying and comparing “moments” from 33 of her distinguishedcolleagues’ cases; and by watching her “wild child”patient, little Cammie, develop her own eight “magical moments”over a period of fifteen years. These “moments” arerare. But by pooling them together, or by looking at howthey develop over a long period of time in a single individual,readers are able to achieve further understanding of theprocess of change in child and adolescent psychotherapy.
