This is Volume IV of thirty-two in the Developmental Psychology series. First published in 1940, The Child and His Family has as its general purpose the investigation of the mutual relations between the child and his family, and, more generally, the child's life within the family circle. The study is based on accurate records of events occurring in individual homes during prolonged observation periods. The information on which the work is based was collected between November, 1931, and August, 1933.
