Black and white coloured titles to the front panel white-collar titles to the back strip. In this book the authors, psychiatrists from Latrobe University, tackle the knotty question of child rearing. As they say in the Preface page VI, "... This book is a fantasy of the outcome of permissive child-rearing practices. The story does not lead to either of the extremes mentioned earlier; that is, the nirvana of self-insight or the disaster of the drop-out. The tale we tell may never happen anywhere or to anybody, but the story may be taken as a warning of the tragedy that may result from good intentions."
