Children’s Mental Health Services
At first, Janet’s mother and father thought their four-year-old daughter was simply more cautious than her siblings. However, she then stopped sleeping and began having extreme tantrums that only worsened. The Bing family was referred to the Jewish Board of Guardians’ Child Development Center, where Janet began individual counseling and psychological testing to help her case workers understand her underlying psychiatric struggles. Her clinical team was robust, including one of the first Freudian child psychoanalysts in the US. Janet began to show signs of improvement during innovative play therapy sessions offered in the Center’s nursery program.
