Zusammenfassung:"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?

Kathleen Jones puts this professional history into the context of the larger culture of age, class, and gender conflict"--Dust jacket.
