N2  - This book apparently grew out of the reforms of the Education Act of 1944 in England, which provides for special schools and special provisions in ordinary schools for all children who, because of disability of mind or body, need special education. As the author says, "an attempt has been made to describe and discuss what happens at a clinic or outpatient department to which a child is sent for psychiatric opinion," and the present volume resulted from experience gained in a provincial area of England and Wales.The major portion of the book is taken up with a rather comprehensive coverage of the problems faced by the psychiatrist who deals with school children.The emphasis is on the examination, diagnosis and report for carrying out the "legal measures" provided by local educational authorities, such as "special education by special methods, for the less seriously handicapped children in the ordinary schools
