Almost any day in the week you can pick up a newspaper and read a story about a child who has committed a shocking, senseless act of violence. These children that you children who read about should be playing games instead of plotting destruction are severely disturbed. Something has gone wrong in their psychological development, and they are desperately in need of psychiatric help. All too eften that help dees not come in time. Sometimes it does not come at all.

Frankly, I dont think there are more youngsters today who need psychiatric care. People iust recognize signs of trouble faster, and theyre more willing to do something about them."
