Children as Personalities

This book is a classic of child psychoanalysis, written by the outstanding British psychologist and follower of Carl Jung, Michael Fordham. First published in the mid-20th century, it remains relevant today, offering a fresh perspective on parenting that radically differs from conventional pedagogical methods. Fordham undertook a true revolution, proving that a child is not a "blank slate" or clay in the hands of parents, but a unique personality from the moment of birth. "Children as Personalities" is not a collection of quick tips on "how to make your child obey." It is a fundamental work for thoughtful parents, educators, and psychologists who want not just to manage a child, but to understand them, building relationships based on deep respect for their inner world.
