This is a guidebook to help children who:

1. are insecure or worry too much; suffer from phobias or nightmares
2. find it difficult to concentrate to let go and have fun
3. have suffered a trauma; are worryingly good or seem like little adults
4. use order and routine as a way of coping with 'messy' feelings
5. retreat into dullness as a way of managing their being in the world
6. and, develop obsessive-compulsive behaviour in order to ward off their too-powerful feelings.
