[Comment on Paul Schröder's monograph entitled "Child characters and their anomalies"].

In a critical appreciation of Schröder's monograph the work is considered to be a basis of psychiatrically oriented characterology. Dealing with Schröder's views also necessarily involves consideration of L. Klage's philosophy. Schröder's concern to provide pedagogues, psychologists, and jurists with a study of the characterology of children deviating from the average or norm, which has been made from the psychiatrist's point of view, may be considered fully realized even today.
