Review of Some parent-child relationships as shown in clinical case studies

Abstract

Reviews the book, Some parent-child relationships as shown in clinical case studies by Marian J. Fitz-Simmons (1935). In many child guidance or psychological clinics throughout the country case records on all sorts of children 's problems have been accumulating during the past twenty or thirty years. To this point, no one had offered a method of analyzing the whole case record for the all-important question of family attitudes. Dr Fitz-Simmons has devised a Guide which enables the research worker to secure an analytic picture of the maternal and paternal attitudes toward the child. As a method for the study of questions involving parental attitudes this Guide offers great possibilities. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
