Societal Change

In this essay, Winnicott gives a succinct account of the factors that need consideration when studying homosexuality and bisexuality. He looks at this from the perspective of psychoanalysis and normal child development and its variations, as well as from the societal perspective. His notes suggest a clear wish to attend to this area objectively, without prejudice and fear, at a time of great societal change in attitude towards homosexuality.

High Incidence

The Case material presented in the paper by Kennell and Rolnick in this issue of Pediatrics illustrates some of the problems encountered in a project for the study of child rearing, particularly in reference to the unanticipated high incidence of cases in which the survival of a newborn infant was threatened by a health complication. In a way, the project might be said to have had bad luck in encountering such complications in two out of three cases, rather than in one out of five, as might have been expected. However, tile statistical mischance, which would have tended to correct itself as the number of cases in the sample increased has served a useful purpose by calling attention to a problem that is becoming more and more important for pediatric training and practice, as well as for studies in normal child development.
