Abstract
THIS volume in Messrs. Longman's Education Series is written by Dr. Dorsey, who is associate professor of psychiatry at Michigan for educators and social workers who are striving, very often unsuccessfully, to learn all about personality. There is a great deal of common sense in the book, and those who woifc steadily through it cannot fail to benefit. The author wisely points out that most juvenile delinquents can recite the Ten Commandments, but that those who taught them to recite did not at the same time obtain rapport with their personalities and teach them how to apply what they so glibly recite.
