Review of Child psychology for professional workers

Abstract

Reviews the book, Child psychology for professional workers by Florence M. Teagarden. The book is developed from lectures on Child Psychology, "modified somewhat from the usual course and adapted to the needs of case workers in social agencies." The author is consistent with this point of view. Scattered through preliminary chapters are paragraphs relating the materials to social work. The author writes in an interesting style. The selection of material from almost unlimited sources gives evidence of wide reading and splendid organization. The viewpoint, from pro and con evidence, is sane and scientific. The book contains a wealth of material, including 1171 references, in 641 pages of clear type. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
