ABSTRACT

This chapter describes across four sections with topics covered including: intelligence testing, classroom observations, interpretation of material, varying effects of the environment and interviewing techniques. It provides a detailed study of mental development and education in adolescent girls in the 1930’s as well as considering how important it can be to have a psychologist in the classroom. At the bottom, not with any derogatory intent, but simply because it is the basis of development chronologically, was placed 'interest in physical experience'. But, bearing in mind Jung's distinction between the inward and the outward turning interests, interest in physical experience was subdivided. Friendliness may be shown to those adults who serve the child's interests either by gifts or by technical help, or by maintaining a firm but gentle authority over the group, thus helping order and control.
