This book analyses the behaviours of 26 boys between the ages of 6 and 17yrs who were all diagnosed as maladjusted. They are all behaviourally, educationally and socially disturbed, and were sent away from home in the attempt to help them overcome their difficulties. The book discusses the individuals drives and motivations, and the importance of having a deeper understanding of their behaviour and what is needed to achieve success with overcoming their problems.
