Health Locus Of Control And Depression In End-Stage Renal Disease, Alan Christensen, Charles Turner, Timothy Smith May 1991

Health Locus Of Control And Depression In End-Stage Renal Disease, Alan Christensen, Charles Turner, Timothy Smith

Alan J. Christensen

Research on the association between health locus of control and depression in chronic illness has produced contradictory findings, perhaps because of a failure to consider contextual variables.

C. G. Jung In The Light Of Asian Psychology, Philip Novak

Philip Novak

"I think it is fair to say that in the first half of this century much of what the West learned about the Asian understanding of mind came, in one way or another, through Jung. Jung was open to the possibility that Asian religious doctrines and methods might contain valuable psychological insight, and he wrote and reflected on the wisdom of the East fairly extensively.

To see the East through Jung's eyes is , finally, to …
