Cipolloni, David C: An extraordinary silence: the emergence of a deeply
disturbed child. Bergin & Garvey, Westport 1993
Product Description:
A child specialist describes his unconventional techniques, both professional
and personal, to draw out a severly introverted, speechless nine-year-old boy
who had not been reached by other therapists or even his family. The boy had
built an elaborate fortress against a world that had declared him incapable of
learning, of communicating, of feeling. As the specialist realized that the
family was so distressed in relating with their son that they were unable to
continue living with him, he sought alternative arrangements. Meanwhile, the
most important work with this emotionally abandoned boy was to convince him of
his basic worth and capacity, and to show him that his choices could make a
difference for himself even in the face of inevitable frustration, denial, and
rejection. Mr. Cipolloni has written the story of his work with Sean to
illustrate how our society has a fundamental disregard for people, particularly
children; he maintains that it is a society that dismisses those it cannot
utilize and leaves us increasingly incapable of forming deep, focused
interpersonal relationships.
