This insightful book taps into current concerns over changes in school, home, workplace, and society at large. Sarason examines sexual liberation, changes in child-rearing patterns and attitudes on the abortion issue, the growing tension between individual and community rights, and the increasingly politicized dynamics of social institutions in general and schools in particular. Through his acute analysis of the past, Sarason enables us to understand and recognize the elements that will have the biggest impact on our future.
