Children with Emerald Eyes - Histories of Extraordinary Boys & Girls AU 03

In this famous book now back in print, a noted psychologist and near-miracle worker presents case histories of the most dramatic of the schizophrenic and autistic children she has worked with. Mira Rothenberg allows us to live her agony and jubilation as she puzzles out the causes behind these children's terrifying disturbances. We meet Peter, an idiot savant, morbidly afraid of losing parts of his body; Sarah, whose only friend is her own hand; and many others. In earlier centuries these children would have been burned as witches or revered as gods, so bizarre is their behavior. Today, Mira Rothenberg argues, they must be taken for what they are: children who are sick but human, who must be loved, not shunned.
