Theory And Practice Of Integrated Psychology, Marjorie L. Rand

Theses

Marjorie L. Rand’s Theory and Practice of Integrated Psychotherapy explores a holistic approach to therapy that unifies the body, mind, emotions, and spirit. Drawing from Gestalt therapy, Reichian therapy, movement therapy, breath awareness, and meditation, Rand presents a flexible and adaptive therapeutic model that prioritizes self-awareness and personal growth.

The thesis challenges the traditional medical and psychological models, which often treat the mind and body as separate entities. Instead, Rand argues for an integrative approach where energy flows freely, reducing psychological and physical distress. She discusses the role of energy healing, the chakra system, and bodywork as essential components of …

Elements Of Visual Perception, Dudley Killam

Theses

The roles of scale, contrast and spectral difference in visual detection and recognition was investigated. Geometrical target arrays were produced and projected using a rear projection apparatus. Scale was varied using combined photographic reduction and slide projection. Contrast levels were adjusted in projection of lithographic target arrays using neutral density filtration arrangements in the projection apparatus. Experimentally obtained cumulative probability of detection and combined detection and recognition was examined relative to established combinations of target scale, contrast and spectral difference. A method for the characterization of target pair differences was offered and analyzed. The relation of scale, contrast and perceptual …

Art Experiences For Children, Yvonne Moran

Theses

This document, written by Yvonne Moran in 1978, serves as a guide to incorporating art experiences into children’s learning to foster creativity, self-expression, and personal development. The approach combines elements of art and dance therapy, highlighting how movement, color, and self-reflective activities can help children build confidence, communicate emotions, and explore their identities. Structured as a hands-on manual, it includes specific units like life-sized body drawings, color-mixing exercises, rhythm awareness, and shadow sketches. Each activity emphasizes experiential learning, allowing children to engage deeply with art and movement to understand themselves and their relationships with others.

The guide is particularly mindful …

Loneliness: Origins, Manifestations, And Treatment, Andrea Schalman

Theses

This thesis explores loneliness as a multifaceted psychological and social phenomenon, examining its origins, manifestations, and potential avenues for treatment. Beginning with a historical overview, the work situates loneliness within cultural and theoretical contexts, noting how the experience has been interpreted through philosophy, literature, and psychology. Drawing heavily on psychoanalytic theory, the thesis considers the role of early childhood attachment, separation, and loss as central contributors to the development of loneliness. The impact of maternal deprivation, insecure attachment patterns, and unresolved separation anxiety are analyzed as formative influences that shape one’s vulnerability to chronic isolation.

The study also examines the …

The Affective Meaning Of Color, Henrietta N. Senecal

Theses

Henrietta N. Senecal’s The Affective Meaning of Color explores how individuals emotionally respond to color, emphasizing the personal and psychological significance of color perception. Drawing from psychological, physiological, and cultural theories, the thesis critiques standardized color interpretation systems—such as those by Luscher and Don—and argues that affective color meaning varies greatly between individuals. Senecal supports this claim with an informal community survey, where participants matched colors to emotion-laden words. Results revealed both common associations (e.g., red with anger or love, black with death) and significant variation, reinforcing the idea that color interpretation is deeply personal and often shaped by context, …
