Abstract
A 7-year-old boy had a symptom of alternating divergent squint, the degree of which showed variations according to days of examinations and state of his emotions. Application of psychotherapy (sand play technique) resulted in improvement of the squint. The author assumed that psychogenic factors might play a role in the occurrence of the squint in addition to the conventional neurophysiologic factors.
