Originally published in 1969, this is the first biography of Susan
Isaacs, the first attempt to estimate her incalculable contribution
to the theory and practice of the education of young children. As a
pioneer of new teaching methods, Susan Isaacs will be remembered
mainly for her work at the Malting House School in Cambridge in the
1920s, and her contribution was such that in 1933 the Department of
Child Development at the University of London, Institute of
Education was specially created for her; she was Head of the
Department until 1943. But Susan Isaacs was also a psychoanalyst,
and D.W. Winnicott in his Foreword refers to the time when he was
supplying cases for her child analysis training: 'I watched with
interest her sensitive management of the total family situation, a
difficult thing when one is engaged in learning while carrying out
a psycho-analytic treatment involving daily sessions over years.'
D.E.M. Gardner, who was a close friend as well as student of Susan
Isaacs, begins by describing Susan's childhood in a Lancashire
cotton town, and throughout the book she helps us to feel the force
of Susan's personality and intellect - 'she was a truly great
person, one who has had a tremendous influence for good on the
attitude of parents and of teachers to the children in their care'.
