	"A Way of Seeing: The Work of Robert Coles" by Scott London
		Coles refers to the method behind his explorations of children's lives as "documentary child psychiatry." As one reviewer noted in the New York Times, he "virtually invented the genre."[1] Coles's technique is an outgrowth of his early distrust of traditional psychiatric nomenclature and method.
		Coles feels that no one in his field of child psychiatry, or in related fields, has fully appreciated the ability of even relatively young children to pose questions about the meaning and "moral significance" of life.
		Coles conceptualizes the family as something of a miniature state, characterized by many of the same moral and political concerns as a nation at large.

		Coles writes about Robert F. Kennedy (whom he knew personally), Shakespeare's Henry V (who had an influence on RFK, reports Coles), the literature of Conrad and Tolstoy, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Dorothy Day--even Al Jones, a fl bus driver in Boston during that city's school desegregation controversy.
		Professor Coles was able to do this by heavily drawing on people and situations he knew personally, so that you get many lovely nuances of how moral leadership has worked in his life through civil rights and humanitarian examples.
		I agree with the Washington Post Book World assessment that Robert Coles should be declared a "national treasure." For years his writing have shown him to be a man of compassion with a heart for the oppressed and downtrodden as well as for the children who are often so easily overlooked in our society.

		Robert Coles, a child psychiatrist whose series of books on children won him a Pulitzer Prize, has turned his watchful eye to the nature of the documentary and produced a thought-provoking book.
		In somewhat the manner of James Faris's recent study, Navajo and Photography, Coles reveals how documentarians like Dorothea Lange and Walker Evans edited and cropped their images to produce a desired effect, and raises the question of authenticity versus manipulation.
		Lange, the subject of a previous biographical study by Coles, comes under close scrutiny as he contrasts her iconic image of a migrant mother with obscure photographs shot moments earlier.
