Summary "Those who work with the young patients of a child guidance clinic have a rare opportunity to gather family histories and observe relationships between parents and children. As a consequence, the records of these clinics are veritable mines of information on this most vital of topics. The present volume is the result of an effort to draw from the experiences of fathers and mothers and children who came to the clinics helpful suggestions for other parents faced by similar problems. Parts I and II are devoted to discussion of what have impressed the writer as the most typical and frequently recurring problems of parent-child relationships recorded. In order to secure a degree of unity and coherence in each chapter, it has been necessary to refrain from presenting any account of the treatment of these problems or of outcome of treatment. The welding together of case material into consecutive discussion is at best a difficult task; if attention is constantly diverted to the later history of each child, it becomes an impossible one. Attention is therefore centered upon family situations and--so far as discoverable--the causes lying back of them. Only in the twelve narratives which form Part III has the story been carried--in extremely abbreviated form--through the treatment period; and here again the choice of records was determined mainly by the interest and significance of the parent-child relationship involved, rather than by methods or results of treatment"--Preface.
