ABSTRACT

One particularly interesting aspect of the answers to the questionnaire filled up by the girls was the great individual variation in capacity to say what they liked, or what they wanted. In the list of interests in the questionnaire Jung marked 'animals' as 'liked very much', but marked nothing else at all; in the interview she added 'babies' and 'cooking', and then crossed them out again immediately and also crossed out 'needlework'. Discussion with Evelyn herself showed that she felt thoroughly disgruntled at home, and though there were several things that, with the help of the interview. The stabilizing effect of the maternal type of activities were well illustrated in one or two instances when, after the interview results were reported to the staff, the Head Mistress was able to arrange for a girl to have some contacts with the Junior School.
