Does anyone have a link to a story, mentioned on the main list lo 
these many months ago, about a therapist who used the ideas of a 
Dementor and a Patronus to work with kids around their depression?  
Or it might have been Boggarts?  I was telling a friend about it and 
she got very interested and wanted details.  I can't find it in a 
search of the main list, but memory is so vague that I'm using the 
wrong words.

It's possible that it wasn't even a story but just someone relating a 
personal anecdote or one from someone they knew, but in any case I'd 
love to track it down.  If it rings a bell, let me know--

Thanks,

Amy
