For the disturbed parent, a discussion of the many disturbances in childhood and the ways in which they are expressed is psychological in its orientation, firm in its recommendations. Habits and attitudes in infancy, early childhood, adolescence, which indicate symptoms of maladjustment precede specific conditions and concerns:- feeding problems, masturbation, jealousy, toilet training, discipline, etc. The following chapters amplify certain situations; nursery schools, entertainment; broken homes; adoption;illness; mental disturbances. The background of modern psychiatry; phases of personality development; testing and therapy; and the right schools, toys, books, etc. complete the coverage which is substantial. There is an excellent bibliography of films, affiliated reading, etc. The material is not new, but it provides a solid basis for parent education and application.
