Abstract

Examples are given showing that the personality of young children is often misinterpreted since the adult projects his views back upon the child's characteristics. The child is considered to have a personality system. It has capacity to resist deformation, stress, and trauma. It has also the capacity for self-repair and readjustment. Whatever affects the child must enter the field of forces in which he is reacting. Personality becomes organized around certain points or experiences which have been stressed and repeated. The need is stressed for a more complete approach to the problem of persistent and fluctuating traits analysing all data in relationship to the time element 30 references.
