  • "It is not intended as a "how-to-do-it" volume, not another guide to successful child rearing. Parents will probably find that some understanding of personality development which is compatible with their ideas and beliefs about human nature will contribute to the richness and depth of their experience living with one another and their children in the day-to-day situation. Throughout these pages the reader will find man considered within the framework of the Christian religion. Without apology, in either sense of that word, the truth of the Christian view of God and man is assumed. Since there is some variation in what the many Christian denominations teach about the nature of God and His creatures, it is most difficult to cloak one's own particular persuasion when discussing these matters. Thus, many readers will recognize, hopefully, a resemblance between the position of the writer and that of Lutheranism."@en
  • ""This book attempts to sketch with a broad brush the nature of personality and the course of its development. Hopefully, it will fill a gap between the many volumes on the nature and nurture of personality which are intended for use in college courses and graduate studies on the one hand, and the abundance of pamphlets and articles which present somewhat popularized treatments of limited topics or areas on the other. All too often, the layman must choose between these alternatives, or, of course, he can choose not to read about personality at all. I believe that the latter decision is most unfortunate, although I recognize that it sometimes results from real difficulty in resolving the former. In my opinion, lay people, parents particularly, should have some understanding of the causes and course of personality development and this book represents an attempt to provide such an understanding."@en
