This book introduces special programs designed to enhance thinking
and problem solving at the preschool, elementary, secondary,
college, and graduate levels, as well as proven instructional
methods to aid the elderly in retaining or regaining essential
mental skills. The volume also considers difficult problems
confronting psychology, including such disparate issues as the
appropriate content of courses to develop thinking, resistance to
the introduction of programs in schools and universities, and
psychology's limitations on progress in these areas.

sociology, psychiatry and education...the book brought hope in a
sometimes hopeless era [and] provided a point of origin to those of
us who came of age in the 1960s... James G. Blight
