Youth and Sex

Originally published in 1932, Youth and Sex was a book for those who wished to keep abreast of modern thought. A short review of the psychology of childhood and adolescence from a modern standpoint forms the core of the book. A preliminary section deals with the ethical and social problems of the day in relation to education, and with the conflict between the old generation and the new, while the concluding chapters review such questions as "The Girl and Her Education", "Sex Instruction", "The Marriage Question", etc. An up-to-date bibliography put the reader in touch with the best recent literature of the time. Today it can be read in its historical context. This book is a re-issue originally published in 1932. The language used and views portrayed are a reflection of its era and no offence is meant by the Publishers to any reader by this re-publication.

Meyrick Booth (1883-1968) was a British educational psychologist.
