The author deals with the application of psycho-analytical principles to Nursery School life. She outlines some of the emotional reactions which arise in the child in the Nursery School. She relates these to child development and to the extension and projection of family relationships into the Nursery School community.
In the chapter entitled, 'The Running of the Nursery School', she touches on what might be called the counter-transference of the teacher. This is the least satisfactory part of the book and could be elaborated.
The short glossary gives no definition of the terms 'unconscious' and 'subconscious' and the latter term is used on page 32 where 'unconscious' would apply. This may be an error in translation.
The handbook should be helpful for Nursery School workers and parents.
