Spare the Freud and save the child, says Dr. Douglas McGlashan Kelley, professor of criminology at the University of California, who was chief psychiatrist at the Nürnberg trials. Misunderstanding and misapplication of Freudian theory, Dr. Kelley told a summer session at Fresno State College last week, have made parents neurotically fearful of turning their children into neurotics. As a result, he said, the U.S. today may be producing a smaller proportion of neurotics, but it is harvesting a bumper crop of psychopaths, which is worse...
...youngster needs simple corporal punishment. This should change after age seven or so to adult types of punishment -fines and loss of privileges, always with reasoned explanations. If the child is not secure, Dr. Kelley conceded, the controls may make him neurotic. But that fear, first sown by Freud, has run wild through U.S. education and childrearing.

"Adapted" for U.S. consumption by Editor Victor Rosen, the book still has an air of semi-solemn fun-with-Freud and what-every-Jung-man-should-know. Moreover, its prose is so plain that a roomful of safecrackers and their molls might well while away the hours before the gelignite goes up by browsing through the work. Its most startling feature is a questionnaire jig-sawed by Authors William Gerhardi (holder of the Czarist Order of St. Stanislav) and Prince Leopold...
...meet the literary standards of the Pickwick papers, but no attempt was made to do so, and we dare say that there is doubt that we could, if we attempted to do so. And like all reviewers, who must read something into everything, we tried to avoid Freud and didn't give John Harvard two thoughts...
