All the little boys at the clinic have suffered harassment; one seven-year-old had his shirt ripped off by classmates who wanted to see if he had female breasts. To ease a boy's anxiety about being a misfit, Green concentrates on changing his behavior through weekly therapy. Under the direction of a male therapist, the patients are divided into small groups and encouraged to assume traditional male roles in their play...
