Summary:

"It is the purpose of this study to scrutinize and examine these feelings of hostility in small children, feelings directed, as we have said, primarily against parents and parent-substitutes. The importance of this problem cannot be overestimated, not only because it will, if mismanaged, become a disturbing factor in parent-child relationships, but also because it may well constitute a basis for adult maladjustment and frequently may be utilized toward destructive social ends, such as war. Psychologic studies can contribute toward the solution of the problem of aggression in three ways: (1) by recognizing and acknowledging the widespread existence of these destructive forces; (2) by examining their nature, origin, and purposes; (3) by establishing ways and means by which these forms of destructive energy may be turned into constructive and useful channels"--Introduction.
