The Pshchoanalytic Study of the Child, Vol. II

Abstract

A group of leading psychoanalysts representing psychiatry, psychology, social work and education have contributed to this second volume in the study of the child. The book deals with a variety of aspects of the child's life and includes essays on personality development, healthy and deviant behavior, learning and reading disabilities, neurotic symptom formation, problems of psychoses in children and the history of child psychiatry. Although written particularly for workers in psychiatry and related fields, the papers contain a wealth of material which should be of value to the pediatrician. Unfortunately, a busy practitioner will not have the time nor the patience to study intently the material presented here.
