I want to tell you about a 10-year-old boy who was brought to me because of a continual trouble with his throat. His eyes, too, were somewhat affected. He was getting good medical attention, but in spite of this his throat trouble persisted and without any apparent physical reason. It was thought that perhaps his problem was an emotional one.

And that is just what it turned out to be. His mother and father were separated. The little boy lived with his mother during the school week and stayed with his father on weekends. He was caught between their emotional conflicts and so became an innocent victim of their bickering.
