The Chequerboard Boy
134: Prometheus, 2016. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Explore the moving story of a fifteen-year-old boy who spoke only a few words, yet communicated powerfully through the drawings he created at home and brought to his therapy sessions. These remarkable images became the key that allowed the therapist to reach the boy’s hidden thoughts, fears, and inner world.
Donald Joseph Cotter (born 1925) trained as a physician in Ireland before moving to the United States to specialize in child psychiatry, focusing particularly on psychoanalytic psychotherapy. After completing his studies, he returned to Ireland and became one of the country’s first specialists in child psychiatry, working in Dublin.
