Psychology

These brief case histories deal with the everyday behavior of normal children between the ages of two and six. Each history includes a brief characterization of the salient features of the case, a description of the home situation, a discussion of developmental history, a history of the adjustments of the child, and where possible, the treatment suggestion and the later history of the case. A valuable feature of this revised edition is a follow-up of more than seventy cases after a lapse of four years.

Josephine C. Foster was principal of the nursery school and associate professor of psychology at the University of Minnesota.

John E. Anderson was professor and director of the Institute of Child Welfare at the University of Minnesota.

A book that parents will thoroughly enjoy, because it tells real stories of one hundred real children; as thoroughly convincing a book on child care as has appeared in a long time.
