Withdrawn Youngsters and Lyrics

Abstract

In this paper, the author reports on how he acted as a therapist for a youngster who, despite conserving some ability for interpersonal interaction, preferred to spend time alone observing through his window the flow of the passing people and to isolate himself in his room peeping at an album of pictures while seeking for healing in music. The author wants to report on how withdrawn youngsters that found lyrics that embrace them, these lyrics can serve as a means to "let their voices out first" and "speak" later on.
