Abstract

The child guidance center is the most recent manifesta­tion of the interest in child welfare that has distinguished social thought in recent years. The close relationship of behavior and personality maladjustments to delinquency, crime, and insanity has made the guidance clinic a valuable agency for general social welfare.

It is the purpose of this study to indicate to some degree the need for scientific child guidance, to show how child guidance centers have developed, how they are operating, and what they are trying to accomplish. This account is primarily descriptive of the typical workings of the more important clinics in the field, because these serve as models for most of the smaller centers.

Sources of material have been for the most part the re­ ports and descriptions of those who are actively engaged in child guidance work. Additional information was obtained by investigation of available Milwaukee resources in child guid­ance.
