Scarce. Comprehensive in coverage indeed, from marriage and contraception via pregnancy to child health, education, child-rearing, careers advice and 'behavioural problems', all tackled by qualified professionals, though no really 'big names'. An excellent panoramic shot of middle-class British domestic ideals in the mid-1930s.
