Appropriate for the ""Tween/Teen"" market. Using a journal format, 12-year-old Maya chronicles her emotional ups and downs and describes the process of psychotherapy. Maya begins by describing a change in her feelings and functioning, a lack of interest in things she previously enjoyed, etc. None of the problems are extreme, but serious enough to merit attention and intervention. The focus s not about resolving Maya's particular problems but about describing and informing the reader about the psychotherapy process.
