Love in the Machine Age

A Psychological Study of the Transition from Patriarchal Society

About this book

First published in 1930, the object of Love in the Machine Age was to popularize a modern and scientific view of behavior, and thereby help people to live happy and successful lives. The author traces in popular language for the time, the break-up of the patriarchal values held by most of society, and points out from the standpoint of modern psychiatric knowledge the inevitable effects upon sexual mores, personality adjustments and the growth of children. Topics covered include marriage, parenting, adolescence, with special emphasis paid to the "mating problems" of youth. Taking its lead from psychological theories prevalent at the time, today it can be read in its historical context.

This book is a re-issue originally published in 1930. 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.
