A group approach to guilt in depressive and suicidal patients

Summary A psychiatrist and a pastoral psychologist considered the problem of guilt as a source of alienation in depressed and suicidal patients by using a four-dimensional approach in a group psychotherapy setting. This involved functioning as cotherapists representing theological and psychiatric orientations and utilizing both didactic and insight-oriented approaches to elicit and explore meaningful material related to guilt feelings. With a number of exceptions, the patients did not appear to make a sharp distinction between the cotherapists' roles. The didactic openings on guilt served to provoke ready discussion of personal conflicts involving guilt feelings, especially in the silent patients who were not easily drawn into spontaneous discussion.     

Humane reproduction

Discusses social, economic, and humane considerations in population control. Mental health aspects of controlled fertility are considered in relation to the family's psychosocial and material resources, the effects of reproduction on the individual the family, and community, and the advantages and disadvantages of controlled reproduction. A distinction between family planning and population control is outlined. It is suggested that there is hardly a single more effective tool for preventing psychological disorders than the prevention of unwanted pregnancies. Analyses of educational and medical services and methods of birth control are presented. A comprehensive neighborhood health station, which would consolidate these services, is suggested. It is concluded that humane programs of reproduction would lead to a reconciliation of biological drives with a responsible concern for the quality of life.     

儿童运用归纳法概括句组内词语能力的实验研究

本研究的目的是探讨儿童概括词语能力的发展问题。实验材料是9组分别有一、二或三个词语(“因素”)的句子,要求被试概括这些句组。被试是9至12岁以及8.5岁的小学生,每个年龄组有30人,共计150名小学生。 实验结果表明:儿童概括词语能力的发展并不与年龄的增长完全一致,在速度和等级方面其发展是不同的。在8.5-9岁以及11-12岁两个年龄组间差异是显著的,而在其他的年龄组,这种能力的发展是缓慢的。每个年龄组概括的广度也是不同的。     

彩色电视记忆肤色宽容度的实验研究

关于儿童部分与整体关系认知发展的实验研究 Ⅰ 4—7岁儿童类和数的包含

部分与整体的关系是逻辑关系。儿童对部分与整体关系的认知标志着逻辑思维的发展。 类和数的包含同是部分与整体的关系。它们的区别在于总类与其子类之间的关系是从属的关系,其所包含的元素是依据共同属性结合起来的;数的各元素可以说都处于同等地位,总数比它的部分含有更多的元素。     

中国劳动心理学三十年

一 西方的工业心理学从本世纪初开始被介绍到中国来,在30年代中期,有关这类文章的介绍为数渐多,同时也有些心理学家从事过为数不多的研究。但由于当时西方的工业心理学既不为厂主所重视,更不受工人群众的欢迎,所以长期以来,工业心理学没有在中国的土壤里生根发芽。

The menstrual taboo in the Judeo-Christian tradition

The menstrual taboo continues to be a primary reason why women in Judaism and Christianity are excluded from positions of authority.

Jesus and Gregory the Great are notable exceptions to the disdain expressed by male religionists toward menstruants. Only after the removal of this persistent taboo will religious bodies come to treat women as full participants.
