Beyond the Best Interests of the Child. By Joseph Goldstein, Anna Freud, and Albert J. Solnit. New York: The Free Press, 1973. $7.95; 170 pp

S. Norman Sherry M.D.

Occasionally a book is written that is so full of memorable one-liners that one is tempted to overquote in a review. Such a book has been written by, to paraphrase a child's game, a doctor, lawyer, and analyst chief. Joseph Goldstein is a professor of law at Yale who specializes in the application of psychoanalysis to law; Albert Solnit is a professor of pediatrics and psychiatry at Yale; Anna Freud heads the Hempstead Child Therapy Clinic in London, and probably knows more about the emotional lives of young children than any other authority.
