"Childhood Revealed has been created by the New York University Child Study Center, which is dedicated to advancing research and clinical care for children. For this book, the Center invited child and adolescent clinicians and teachers nationwide to submit artwork made by children from ages four to eighteen.".

"The drawings in Childhood Revealed speak of depression, eating disorders, learning differences, abuse, divorce, and more. Many of the children's personal descriptions of their problems or their art are also included here. Every child has a story to tell, and every one of these children is an example of the millions more who need our help. To this end, Childhood Revealed also includes advice for parents and educators based on interviews with leading experts in their respective fields.

Here also in a display of public courage are statements from celebrities who have lived with, and conquered, some of these disorders."--BOOK JACKET.
