An only child, a sulker, a jealous heart: some handicaps are built at home. H. Addington Bruce examines mental backwardness, sulking, jealousy and selfishness as problems parents can understand and often undo, using the new psychology of the 1910s. Popular science in the best sense, warm and readable. Diagnose gently, then help.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
