Vladimir Levy "An Unconventional Child"

"Non-standard child" - one of the earliest booksknown psychologist, psychotherapist and writer Vladimir Levy. For the first time it was published in 1983, several times reprinted, and in 2006 in the series "Concrete Psychology" published its updated and updated edition - "A new non-standard child".

This book is not an allowance for parents, not a compilationpedagogical instructions and ready-made solutions. It reads more like a work of art. Vladimir Levy does not declare and does not call, he simply shares his thoughts and experience with readers. The author gives parents advice, but does not insist on their implementation. His task is to show his parents the way, but they must go through it themselves.

"Non-standard child" is a freakish vinaigrette from memories, reflections, correspondence with colleagues and patients, and personal experience (both professional and family: in Vladimir Lvovich five children). All this is stated in artistic language in an accessible form. It is no wonder that such a sincere and lively book finds echo in the hearts of readers for many years and even decades.

This book is for parents - and not only. About children - and not only about them. First of all, this book is about a man, because every child is first and foremost a person, a person, and every person was once a child and always remains in their heart.

Quotations from the book

"A person knows so little about a person that it's amazing how he still manages to be a person."

"The difference is ten years. 0 and 10, 1 and 11 - different universes, you will not find another comparison. 10 and 20 are multi-planetary civilizations. 20 and 30 are different countries. 30 and 40 are already neighbors, although one can assume that the other is beyond the horizon line. 40 and 50 - men almost the same age, between women is climacteric pass. 50 and 60 - who is older is already a question. Seventy years may be younger.

So, starting at different times, we sooner or later catch up with each other. "

"Parent, the prototype of the world is clinging to you.

The depth of the print left by you in the shower can not be compared in any way - only Nature itself is stronger than this.

You are forever, to the end, in affirmation and denial ... Another, unlike, rejecting you by the whole being - will search for you all your life, wait and love, find and do not recognize. All my life I cuddle and run, smile and cry, be ashamed, rave ... With you dying, will not know how much you have in him ...

The world of the child is built from the pieces of your morning. "
