ABSTRACT
Editor’s Note. In 1957, three years after the United States Supreme Court rendered its momentous decision on school desegregation, GAP published the following document as Report #37, “Psychiatric Aspects of School Desegregation.” A less technical condensation was issued in 1960 in order to enlarge the Report’s usefulness to more categories of readers. In the abbreviated version, entitled “Emotional Aspects of School Desegregation (Report #37A), references were added to several developments that had occurred during the three years that followed publication of the original Report, such as the crisis in Little Rock, the protracted shutting of schools in Prince Edward County, Virginia, and the early Negro student “sit-ins” in southern states.
