"When our children act up - whether they're just moody and rebellious or taking drugs and committing crimes - our solution, so often now, is to send them to a psychiatrist or developmental psychologist for help. What makes us think this will work? How did we come to rely on psychological explanations - and corrections - for juvenile misconduct?"--BOOK JACKET. "In Taming the Troublesome Child, these questions lead to the complex history of "child guidance," a specialized psychological service developed early in the twentieth century. Kathleen Jones puts this professional history into the context of the larger culture of age, class, and gender conflict."--BOOK JACKET.
