Synopsis

When the book Summerhil: A Radical Approach to Child Rearing was announced in 1960, A.S. Neill was virtually unknown in the U.S., and not a single bookseller placed an advanced order. Yet today Neill's controversial theories are required reading in universities and the interest in Summerhill is worldwide. Expressing highly contrasting views in Summerhill: For and Against are fifteen noted scholars and writers, including Erich Fromm, Louise Bates Ames, Bruno Bettelheim, and Sylvia Ashton-Warner.
