Abstract
The author, a well known professional anthropologist, has attempted in this source to reconstruct from fragmentary historical accounts a psychological picture of the Delaware Indians. In his analysis of Delaware personality, parent-child relationships are discussed to some length as are various emotional attachments attained in maturity (i.e., romantic affiliations, guardian spirit relationships, and the institution of friendship among men), and the concept of oral fixation as an element in personality development. In addition to socially approved ways and means of aggression control and expression, general information may also be found on childcare and development.
