AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Using psychoanalytically oriented investigative interviews, Rorschach tests, and participant observation, the authors describe both aboriginal and modern techniques of socialization and their psychological implications. Their thesis is that 'earlier practices successfully molded the derivatives of the aggressive drive, whereas those of today fail to accomplish that major task'. The approach and interpretation are distinctly psychoanalytic.
