Foreword to special issue.

When we were asked to edit a special edition of this Journal on new developments in the psychotherapy of children and youth, it was our hope that we could integrate, organize, and interrelate the various trends in child and youth psychotherapy, mixing and blending them, creating if you will a gazpacho. However, it soon became clear to us that this would be an impossible task, for there was almost an infinite number of dimensions along which the contributions that had come in could be classified. This wide diversity suggested to us that it would, indeed, be presumptuous and perhaps premature to attempt to organize these various elements, each of which stands on its own and has a unique message.
