The Young Child and His Parents
Book Description:

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.

    In the following pages there are presented one hundred cases of young children between the ages of two and six years, arranged in order of chronological age. Occasionally two children in the same family are described, in which event many details are so much alike that the two are written up together and will be found at the age of the younger child, with a cross-reference included at the age of the older child.
