A Child’s Fears:

There was Frances, aged three and a half, a terror stricken child. Could not be left alone in a room, because of frantic fear. Parents had to sit with her for hours at night before she could sleep. Frightened of shadows on the wall and startled by any sound. She attended the Clinic for six weeks. Her mother writes: “She is perfectly fearless now. She sleeps alone without needing anyone at hand.”
