Echo Personalities: A Short Study of the Contributions of Abnormal Psychology towards the Solution of some of the Problems of Normal Education

Abstract

MANY readers of the voluminous literature upon mental and nervous disorders published almost weekly in our own country must have been struck by the vast stores of information for the educationist which these writings contain. The significance for education of much of this information lies chiefly in the fact that it tells the teacher what to avoid, but an almost equal amount is grist of the finest quality for his own particular mill; for many of the painstaking and minute analyses of these states of mental twistedness are but the prelude to a subsequent process of re-education. Here, if anywhere, may the educator of the normal child help and find help.

Echo Personalities: A Short Study of the Contributions of Abnormal Psychology towards the Solution of some of the Problems of Normal Education.

By Frank Watts. Pp. 111. (London: George Allen and Unwin, Ltd., 1918.) Price 4s. 6d. net.
