First published in 1933, Commonsense Psychology and the Home was a book for parents and others who were interested in the welfare of the child and who, although sceptical of, and confused by, the conflicting schools of modern psychology at the time, desired guidance from modern knowledge combined with experience which they could appreciate as appealing to their common sense. It deals with the ideals of home life, from the choice of the partner to make a home, through the whole development of the family, ending up on the arrival of grandchildren. It shows the commonsense application of psychological principles to the happy and harmonious development of the home and the ultimate achievement of a freed personality when the child goes out into the world. It shows, step by step, how major difficulties may be avoided and minor difficulties handled.
