Abstract

One of the most impressive features of contemporary literature on mental hygiene and child guidance is the frequent and emphatic reference to unwholesome parental attitudes as primary factors in the causation of behavior maladjustments in children. Attempts to measure these attitudes objectively, however, are of comparatively recent origin. Yet a survey of the literature yields almost two hundred titles reporting experiments in the measurement of parent-child relationships and the effects of parental attitudes upon the child. These are in addition to Thurston's (25) comprehensive bibliography of some 270 pages covering particularly the mental hygiene aspects of parent-child relationships.
