Biography
Elaine V. Siegel, Ph.D., is Supervising and Training Analyst at the New York Center for Psychoanalytic Training. A registered dance therapist, she served for 14 years as director of the motor development unit at Suffolk Child Development Center, a research facility of the State University of New York at Stony Brook. Dr. Siegel maintains a private practice in Long Island and lectures widely both in the United States and Europe. She is the author of Female Sexuality: Choice Without Volition (Analytic Press, 1988).
"This book of case histories, written by a gifted and dedicated child therapist, is a most welcome and needed addition to the literature. It is reassuring and refreshing to hear that a humane environment enhances learning in children and that overemphasis on specialized remedial help can make us forget that children are whole human beings with a primary need to be understood."
- Anni Bergman, Ph.D., Professor Clinical Psychology, CUNY
