'Dr. Margaret Lowenfeld was a pioneer of nonverbal communication with children -- particularly disturbed children. By using symbols meaningful to them, she evolved techniques through which they could express themselves and be understood by trained psychologists and psychotherapists...The best known of these techniques was the "World Technique." By giving a child a tray of circumscribed size, access to sand, water, plasticene and a wide selection of models of people, animals, toys, cars, etc., and asking the child to "make a world," the child was encouraged to express himself and his reactions in a way that adults could understand. This book describes the use of the technique.'
