Summary

Although the topics of children's drawing and prenatal psychology are currently often neglected in the psychological and child psychotherapeutic literature, Ralph Frenken's book shows the importance of these topics, both as a way of processing maladaptive behavior, regressions, the integration of emotions and as an expression of children's artistic achievements in the child psychotherapeutic process. This book covers the range of a boy's intrapsychic life, taking into account the importance and impact of the prenatal period, and is thus closely related to clinical developmental psychology. It is a theory of the prenatal period in the expression of the child's drawing.
