"This is a useful little book for anyone anxious to discover what educational psychologists have to say about children, teachers and education. ... Written for the general reader and/or the beginning psychologist, rather than for the established psychologist, and being brief, the book avoids the dedication to one psychological theory which reduces the value of heavier books on educational psychology." - **The MENCAP Newsletter

**"This carefully conceived and informative little book does much to demonstrate just how crucial psychology is to all those engaged in the educational process. ... All in all, a very welcome addition to the literature." - **British Journal of Educational Psychology
