PSYCHOLOGY OF ADJUSTMENT Program By WM. H. MIKESELL AND GoRDoN C. HANsoN Mrs. AliCe Myers A new text in the Van Nostrand series in psychology­ covering child, adolescent and adult adjustment to social and economic conditions--and presenting a broad view of the average student's problems of ad­ justment with advice and counsel for their solution. American Sociological Society As stated in the author's preface, "Psychology of Adjustment is intended as a lower division introduc­ tion to the challenging field of maladjustment". The authors believe that this field is so difficult and com­ plex that it would be presumptuous to offer the last word on the subject of maladjustment. They have presented, however, an excellent preliminary overview of certain aspects of this important subject, and have sought to discuss the topics in simple, understandable language. 406 pp. - 6 x 9 - Graphs, diagrams - Cloth - $4.50
