Acknowledgments

I wish to express my thanks to Mrs. Joyce Coles for a great deal of work carefully done in the preparation of this book, including the Index, for which she is largely responsible.

Masud Khan has given generously of his time, advice and constructive criticism, so that I feel that but for him this book would not have appeared.

The publishers have been most co-operative in the matter of reproduction of drawings which, as they were not drawn for show, have often given rise to severe difficulties in regard to presentation. The trouble here is that I myself prefer the original state of children's drawings to the better pictures that can be obtained by skilful touching up.

Some of the cases in this book have been presented before as lectures or as published papers, and I am most grateful for permission to include them. Details of previous publication are as follows:
