Mental Hygiene And The Bible, H. D. Mensing

Concordia Theological Monthly

Mental hygiene has been variously defined, depending upon the school represented or the scope intended. It is sometimes broadly conceived as including the cure of the •abnormal and diseased mind (psychiatry), as also the development and preservation of a healthy mind, an integrated personality. The stress, however, is always upon the prophylaxis, upon the prevention of maladjustment. "All mental hygiene is directed toward a happy and successful life in conformity with the dictates of personal and higher laws."

A Technique For Inter-Translating Psychological Theories, Joseph C. Trainor

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies

The present situ.at ion in psychology is a strange mixture of para.dox, dilemma and confusion, with many self-confident schools of thought in the field, each somewhat antagonistic to the others. The history of other sciences reveals that these are the growing pains out of which there will emerge the matured science. Meanwhile, the squabbles and the confusion are here and we must do something about them.

Modern Psychiatry And The Bible, H. D. Mensing

Concordia Theological Monthly

A discussion of modem psychiatry and the Bible in the compass of our allotted space cannot pretend to be exhaustive, but must of necessity be a mere sketch, touching here and there the points that seem of special interest for our purpose. We shall, in fact, limit ourselves to the discussion of current technical terms and then, as we proceed, stop to examine some of the problems as they come within the sphere of our observation. The very nature of our subject-matter must preclude any dogmatic statements, except where a statement of Holy Scripture is not concerned; for psychology with …

Emotional Behavior As Aroused By Initial Experience In School, Frances M. Edwards

Student Work

Kindergarten children, on their first day in school, give one who has the opportunity to observe them an interesting experience. Each child reacts to this new situation in an individual manner. Some show their own particular idiosyncrasies, while others appear to accept this now contingency as though they were well experienced in school activities. The outstanding mannerisms and reactions of each child can give a watchful teacher some insight into the emotional characteristics of the particular child who shows marked variations from the ordinary.

A Study Of The Activities And Opportunities Of Boys In Omaha, William Glenn Sullenger

Student Work

As truly as the caterpillar takes on wings and the tadpole lungs and limbs, of which neither had any trace before, the boy takes on not only habits and instincts and ways of getting on in the world, but actual new structure as well. Boyhood begins with the second set of teeth; it ends with the advent of the beard and a new set of enzymes in the blood. Neither boy nor grub nor pollywog passes on to the next stage of his existence by any mere enlargement.

A Study Of Juvenile Delinquency In Omaha, Nebraska, Harriet M. Hicks

Student Work

In the history of man, the problem of deviation from the normal or social standard of behavior has been ever-present, necessitating recognition and consideration. Science has shown that intelligence levels vary on both sides of the postulated. Children’s behavior likewise varies; it has been classified by legal distinction into non-delinquent (normal) and delinquent, the latter so different from the standards set up by society that the child becomes an object of apprehension and potential danger to the well-being of the group as well as to his or her own existence in society. The classifications cited above are the products of …

Some Relationships Between Psychological Examinations Scores And Scholastic Marks Of College Freshmen, Vaughn E. Mccoley

Electronic Theses & Dissertations

Reliable estimates of an individual student's fitness for college work are important in determining whether or not he should be admitted to college. Prominent educators and others interested in our educational system realize that before we permit a candidate to enter college we should answer two questions concerning him. (1) Can this candidate probably maintain a satisfactory record in his college studies? (2) If so, is he, in other respects also the sort of individual whom we want in our student body?

In this study we have confined ourselves to the question of the candidate's scholastic ability. We want to …

The Shifting Sands Of Science, Th. Engelder

Concordia Theological Monthly

Men are colling upon the Christian Church with increasing insistence that it adjust its teachings to the findings of science. The Western Christian Advocate of December 22, 1027, declared: "New discoveries have necessitated new statements of our faith. Our views of the Bible, our ideas as to God's relationship to the world, have got to be reconstructed. . . . The heterodoxies of one day have become the orthodoxies of the next." w. K. Wright, in A. Student’s Philosophy of Religion, demands that he, the student, draw no conclusions in conflict with the dicta of present-day mental and physical science. …

Reason And Christian Faith, Daniel Coyner

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

The attempt to present a somewhat different point of new is the only excuse that may be offered for another treatment of the relation of reason to Christian faith. The peculiarity of the following discussion will be its assumption that Christianity is the true religion. It is in no sense a study of the philosophy of religion, which begins, for purposes of argument, with the notion that all religions are of equal merit. Nor is it similar to the prefatory remarks on the relation of reason to religious truth which are commonly found in the books on the philosophy of …

Behaviorism And Christianity, Daniel Coyner

Bachelor of Divinity

The purpose of our discussion, however, is not so much to reveal the weak features of behaviorism as it is to place it in juxtaposition with Christianity and point out the incongruities. We have seen that the philosophical basis upon which the superstructure of behaviorism has been raised is a problem that has not bothered many of the behaviorists. Most of them have chosen to remain indifferent to this groundwork - apparently because it is not objective enough for them. But whether it be objective or subjective, Christianity has a very definite philosophical basis and our comparison of the two …

Organic Inferiority And Its Psychic Compensation In Relation To Physical Education, Earl F. Zinn

Historical Dissertations & Theses

While character has long been a matter of man's prime concern, it is only in recent years that psychology has been in a position to effectively attack the problem. For the first time in its history is this science equipped with both a point of view and a method which give every promise of ultimately solving this most vital and perplexing of human problems. One of the distinctive features of this viewpoint pertains to the somatic relationship. From this, organic integrity and physical health are seen in a new light. This is of decided significance for physical education.
