This child was seen once, and in her personal interview she found a clue to her symptoms. She was brought because of ‘black fits of depression’. She also had blinding headaches, nausea and photophobia, lasting two or three days and sending her to bed. She had lately become withdrawn. Along with this was a bad temper in the morning.
All these symptoms cleared up when she arrived at the drawing of the dream in which her mother got run over.
Rosemary is one of two children in a good working-class family.
The interview was as follows. There were two visitors and two Psychiatric Social Workers present. This was a routine clinic case.
Rosemary started drawing2 and showed some ability.
She drew a girl.
We then played squiggles and she turned my squiggle into a head.
