Abstract

The present chapter is based on a notebook with concise descriptions of children seen at the Donskaya Clinic. The notebook has a leatherette cover with 36 pages, and the notes were written in violet ink. Stuck on the front cover was a piece of paper with the penciled text “About volition .” L.E. Tuzovskaya helped with the first deciphering of the text.
