This book examines the complicated personal and institutional
factors that influence a student's decision to terminate his
studies; it investigates ways to enable him to resume his education
and utilize his talents. The opening chapters approach the problem
from an administrative point of view, reporting on statistical and
psychological research and indicating future directions. Subsequent
chapters deal with personal dimensions: relations between the
student and his college environment; the effects of timing of
readmission; family attitudes toward the dropout; the effectiveness
of psychiatric treatment; personality traits that contribute to a
student's difficulties. College administrators will find this study
relevant to policy decisions on admissions, medical services, and
course structuring. Clinicians and researchers will find guidelines
for therapy and suggestions for further investigation. Finally,
parents of college dropouts will gain new understanding of the
problem and the best way to meet it. Originally published in 1966.
The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand
technology to again make available previously out-of-print books
from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.
These editions preserve the original texts of these important books
while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions.
The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase
access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of
books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in
1905.
