(decorations) Vintage, pre-Dr. Spock child-raising advice manual. "Here at last is a book on the rearing of children, from birth through adolescence, by one who is eminent both as a psychologist and as a physician. He declares that mental health can be assured at birth to all babies who are normal at birth (and nearly all of them are) and whose parents have before them a clear picture of growth and development and carry out a few general principles." Wow, it sounds so simple. (And you gotta love a book in which the chapter about adolescence is entitled "The Valley of Confusion.").
