Abstract

This pamphlet contains four separate and quite unconnected papers. In the first Dr. Partridge rather apologetically discovers the importance of mother love. Dr. Crichton-Miller, in a short paper entitled Puberty and Adolescence, ascribes most difficulties to fear of adult responsibilities. Dr. Ross and the late Dr. Crookshank both show their moralistic dislike and disapproval of neurosis as a means of avoiding unpleasant situations. None of these contributors appear to have any insight into dynamic unconscious forces, and from a psycho-analytic point of view, the pamphlet has therefore no value.
