Abstract
‘A child who is withdrawn is like a child who is totally overcome by a kind of grief. She is so absorbed with her inner self, which does not appear to be a happy self, that outwardly she does not seem to respond to anything. In many ways the phrase ‘living in a world of her own’ could only be too true. She is her world and it is an unhappy place for most of the time.
