description: When the book A Radical Approach to Child Rearing was announced in 1960, A.S. Neill was virtually unknown in the U.S., and not a single bookseller placed an advanced order. Yet today Neill's controversial theories are required reading in universities and the interest in Summerhill is worldwide. Expressing highly contrasting views in For and Against are fifteen noted scholars and writers, including Erich Fromm, Louise Bates Ames, Bruno Bettelheim, and Sylvia Ashton-Warner.
