Bibliotherapy To Help Young Children Cope With Their Problems, Marjorie J. Semon

Theses

Since children are facing many stresses both from within and without, it is felt that bibliotherapy may be a way of helping them face and cope with their problems. After a search to see if a curriculum guide had been developed to help kindergarten children through bibliotherapy, none was discovered. An extensive review of existing literature was then made to learn about children and stress at the pre-operational level, as well as an in-depth study of bibliotherapy from its history, research on bibliotherapy pertaining to young children, the qualifications of the bibliotherapist, how one determines whether the need exists, and …

Art Therapy In The Treatment Of Emotionally Distrubed Children With Learning Problems, William L. Franklin

Theses

In my work, in a residential treatment center for emotionally disturbed children, I have observed that many, if not a majority, of the residents experience difficulty in learning . Emotionally disturbed children exhibit inappropriate emotional reactions which hinder their ability to make appropriate responses to their environment. Uhlin (1979), described their predicament as being unable to structure and maintain their experiences of reality. As a result, such children function in a distorted manner (Uhlin, 1979). Emotional disturbances can range from children who seemingly become detached from reality; for example, the autistic children to the less observable or detectable disturbances related …

Nineteenth Century American Painting: An Evolution In Value, Marguerite P. Walker

Theses

This thesis explores the significant transformation in the market value and cultural appreciation of nineteenth century American paintings. Marguerite P. Walker investigates the historical, social, and economic factors that contributed to the evolving status of American art from a marginalized, undervalued genre to one recognized for its artistic and monetary worth. Initially viewed as crude and provincial in comparison to European works, American paintings from this period suffered from widespread prejudice. However, shifts in national identity, increased art education, and the rise of a domestic art market spurred interest in American subjects, particularly landscapes and genre scenes reflecting national pride …

Some Observations On The Development Of Pharmacy And Recommendations For Improving The Allocation Of Resources At St. Joseph's Hospital, Ivy Ann D. Lee-Sharpe

Theses

It is the intent of this paper to trace the developmental history of pharmacy alluding to the profession as an integral part of medicine when treatment was simple, magically connected and filled with superstitions. It separated when medical knowledge expanded, technology advanced and regulations formalized pharmacy. Social and environmental factors established the needs for specialists to handle, compound, prepare and dispense drugs and medicines. The institutionalization of care and the entrance of the pharmacists in these institutions were influential in this separation and will be discussed. Although formally separated, pharmacy stayed intimately linked with medicine in literature and formal education …

Spatial Frequency Processing In The Human Visual System: A Study Of Black Versus White, Robert Seyfert

Theses

The human visual system responses to resolution targets whose small area spatial content has been altered from white to black has been investigated. Modified tri-bar targets were presented to observers on a rear projection screen at constant average luminance and varying levels of contrast. Each observer was asked to determine if he could see the target and if the target had been modified. Responses indicate that there is no difference in the visibility of targets in which small areas have been changed to white or black but whose spatial frequency content is the same.

Images In Glass, Douglas Anderson

Theses

The nature of this thesis is to mate creative glass working and imaginative illustration. I intend to use a fictional manuscript and interpret its aesthetic meaning in glass. The glass will take a form similar to painting and drawing creating compositions with emotional intensity- I will use, as needed, all available techniques known to me in glass technology to compose these illustrations. I will present this partnership of glass and illustration in a readable format such as a book.

Identifying The Gifted And Talented Students In The Primary Grades, Janice M. Holtmeyer

This researcher has been interested in the gifted student for some time and has always felt a little uneasy about the fact that so many times these students become bored with school. The work is too easy and there is no challenge for them. So the purpose in doing this study was to find answers to some questions such as : 1 ) Who are the gifted? 2) How do you identify these students? 3) In what kind of program should a gifted student be placed? and 4) Will the student benefit from an individualized program? These questions are answered …

Touching In The Psychotherapeutic Encounter, Kim Glaser Selbert

Theses

This thesis explores the role of physical touch as an adjunct to psychotherapy, analyzing both its therapeutic benefits and potential risks. Touch, defined in this study as physical contact including handshakes, touches on the arm or shoulder, hugs, kisses, and massage, is considered a fundamental human need and communication tool that extends across cultures and species. Drawing from psychological literature, developmental research, and the history of therapeutic practice, the study traces how touch has evolved in psychotherapy—from pre-Freudian physical treatments to Freud's rejection of touch in favor of neutrality, and to contemporary views that embrace limited, intentional touch as therapeutic. …

The Voyage Of Consciousness In People, Deborah M. Rogers

Theses

The Voyage of Consciousness in People explores the complex, layered development of human consciousness through a psychological and spiritual framework rooted in transpersonal and yogic traditions. Deborah M. Rogers presents consciousness as a dynamic process, best understood as a "voyage" through a spectrum of internal experiences and developmental stages. Drawing heavily on Eastern philosophy—particularly the chakra system of Tantric Yoga—she maps human awareness across seven levels: Physical, Affect, Effect, Mental, Ego, Transpersonal, and Pure Consciousness. Each level correlates with one of the seven major chakras and includes a progression through seven depths or "bands" of consciousness, adapted from Ken Wilber’s …
