I have had that book for decades.  :-)  I'm surprised you can't remember his first name, Lee.  It's LEE!  ;-)

I was a big fan of Dr. Lee Salk before my first child was born in 1978.  He had a column in one of the women's magazines... McCall's, I think.  I bought his book What Every Child Would Like His Parents To Know and liked it so much I bought How to Raise a Human Being: a Parents' Guide to Emotional Health from Infancy Through Adolescence.  Both fairly groundbreaking in their content back in the day.
