Extract

One of the aims of child psychiatry is to support and supplement parents who are having difficulty in their task of socializing their child. At least as important an aim is to keep within bounds the cost of socialization. This cost is certainly excessive when social demands on the parents stifle natural, biologically determined, attitudes to the extent that they provide a noxious rather than a facilitating environment for their child.
