In his therapeutic education course held in June and July 1924, Rudolf Steiner introduced a small group of listeners to a series of children with developmental issues and disabilities after some introductory lectures. In none of his many talks on medicine and pedagogy did he address the manifestations of illness in individual destinies and possibilities for therapy as directly as in this course. This course became the seedbed of anthroposophical therapeutic education. Following this therapeutic education course, Wilhelm Uhlenhoff now presents a detailed study of the medical histories and life stories of the children discussed there. He describes their backgrounds, documents the forms and progression of their developmental disorders, and lovingly accompanies their further destinies, respecting their individuality. This also results in a vivid documentation of therapeutic educational practice.
