| Summary: | "His volume was planned and has been compiled to offer to parents the irreducible minimum of the New Psychology in the simplest possible terms, and with such practical applications as might seem to illustrate the central findings of Analytical Psychology. It is mainly based upon the course of lectures delivered to teachers under the auspices of the Tavistock Clinic for Functional Nerve Cases. Hence much of the subject matter of this volume is contained in its predecessor. The reader who may happen to have perused The New Psychology and the Teacher will therefore exercise patience--and his inalienable prerogative of "skipping"--over passages that are common to the two books. It is imperative to remind the reader of the impossibility of presenting in a form so simple and brief anything more than the barest rudiments of Analytical Psychology. The literature of the subject has already attained vast dimensions. The original school of Psycho-Analysis as controlled by Freud, has many seceding groups. On all sides the complexity increases. Under these circumstances a short and simple presentation must imply the slurring, if not the actual elimination, of countless important points. It is the writer's hope that only those aspects of the subject which are of secondary importance have been sacrificed. Finally the reader must remember that the views contained in these pages are in no way the official views of any one school, but merely the result of the writer's own clinical experience and the conclusions to which he has attained through it. The author's indebtedness to his wife for invaluable co-operation in the preparation of this volume has been expressed more directly, but is here placed on record"--Preface.
