Review of Child guidance procedures. Methods and techniques employed at the Institute for Juvenile Research

Abstract

Reviews the book, Child guidance procedures. Methods and techniques employed at the Institute for Juvenile Research by the staff of the Institute for Juvenile Research (1937). Under the original chairmanship of Dr. Temple Burling, and later of Dr. R L. Jenkins, a committee of the staff of the Illinois Institute for Juvenile Research has formulated a statement of the philosophy and methods of the child guidance clinic. Each professional group has stated its own contribution and these have been organized into a systematic whole. While the statements apply primarily to conditions at the Institute they do represent a clear account of the work of any clinic. The book is divided into five parts. General evaluation of the book can best be summarized by saying that it should be required reading for all students in clinical psychology, social work, psychiatry, or education who expect to work with children.
