Summerhill School : A New View
of Childhood
by Alexander S. Neill, Albert Lamb
Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
This update of the 1960 classic, Summerhill, presents radical educational
theorist A. S. Neill, "looking back in 1971 on fifty years of running his
pioneering self-governing free school," in Suffolk, England. Lamb, who was an
American student there in the early 1960s, weaves extracts of Neill's writings
in a narrative that details the progressive school's struggles. As an
octogenarian, Neill (1884-1973) recalls his advocacy of a then new psychological
approach that pointed to emotions, not intellect, as the primary forces shaping
a child's growth. At Summerhill, now run by Neill's daughter, Zoe Readhead,
"kids grow up in their own way and at their own speed" in a self-governing,
sympathetic environment. It appears that they are not scanted educationally.
Generous in acknowledging his debt to others, including his mentor, psychologist
Wilhelm Reich, Neill here freshly details his belief in children's ability to be
self-regulating.
"A.S. Neill is one of the great pioneers of modern times in the education of the
child...Anyone who is in any way concerned with the education of children should
make this book required reading." --Ashley Montagu
"I know of no educator in the western world who can compare to A.S. Neill.
Summerhill is a tiny ray of light in the world of darkness." --Henry Miller

Troubled and Troubling Child (Jossey-Bass
Social and Behavioral Science Series)
by Nicholas Hobbs
Review
Mark Freado (Westerville, OH United States) – See all my reviews
Nick Hobbs' last book, published in 1982, is a summary of the first 20 years of
Re-ED. This book explains the principles and strategies that allowed Re-ED to
outlive it's origins as a NIMH grant project and become the foundation for more
that 20 organizations serving children and families throughout America. Those
organizations and the American Re-EDucation Association continue to reinvent
Re-ED everyday through continuing innovation in services.
