A Study Of Frustration Tolerance In Handicapped Children, Barbara Ellen Bower

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

What is adjustment? There are almost as many ways of defining it as there are ways of achieving it. To anwer the question one must first try to find the common factor of the varied definitions of adjustment. Sheviakov and Friedberg in their report of the Eight Year Study say, Desirable adjustment was thought of, generally as a process of maturation and adaptation, during which the individual is able to integrate successfully (i.e., without neurotic compromises or delinquent episodes) his primitive impulses and drives with those expectations or demands which are imposed upon him (with reference to his age, sex, …

Observations Of The Use And Efficacy Of Changing A Patient's Concept Of His Role: A Psychotherapeutic Device, Ethel D. Edwards

Master's Theses or Doctor of Nursing Practice

The problem we faced was to try to develop some form of psychotherapy that would not consume a great deal of time.

A Study Of Japanese International Short Wave Radio Propaganda, Leonard A. Smoll

Psychology ETDs

This study of Japanese war-time propaganda, beamed toward the United States and disseminated by the medium of international short wave radio, was inspired by these considerations. War-time restrictions on the press, local broadcasting, and landline facilities close the channels to which Japan could get the desired propaganda material into a neutral country, she would have no assurance that the material would reach the ultimate objective in unadulterated form. These obvious barriers to Japan's propaganda machine raise the question: Is there any channel or communication through which Japan may direct biased information straight to the recipient, and delivered uncensored? The answer …

The Soul In Modern Thought, Joseph Talsky

Bachelors’ Theses

Many strange things happen in this world to add their particular bit to the general bafflement of man. Perhaps the strangest of all is the paradox of man's belief. He knows one thing in that heart of his and yet to all external appearances believes another.

Experience tells him that he has the enviable functions of thinking, feeling and willing but his experience …
