Summary:

"This book attempts to raise the level of thinking about human behavior: 1. by developing an organized method of analyzing clinical data; 2. by relying on a careful study of all the individual variations of behavior and conditions which bring them about; and 3. by classifying and analyzing behavior patterns and the situations in which they operate. Enables the student to search for the "experimental situations" that may be concealed in the medley of clinical observations. Included: 1. studies of sucking behavior; 2. infant's resistance to sucking; 3. mother's behavior when experiencing pain and frustration; and 4. mother's methods of stimulating the baby to suck, of displaying affection and annoyance. Intended not only for those who are interested particularly in maternal attitudes, but for all investigators of social behavior"--Jacket.
