ABSTRACT
THERE CAN BE no clear-cut non-statistical method by which a Seminar such as that at Chichester can be evaluated, and indeed the criteria of success must necessarily depend upon the expectations of the organizers and of all who took part. Inevitably there must be multiple aims for such an undertaking and in the case of the Chichester Seminar, those of promoting international understanding, promoting technical and professional education, exchanging information on modern advances in the child development field, and promoting mental hygiene projects on a world-wide scale, can be mentioned. Perhaps the best way of indicating to the reader some of the effects, on the Faculty and participants, of attending the Seminar, is to give a short account of what the people present actually felt about it at the time. Whether these feelings can be held to justify the enormous expenditure of effort and money which the Seminar entailed, must then be left to others to judge. Certainly it can be said that no one who was present had any doubt that the Seminar was eminently well worth-while.
