Two separate kindergarten classes were selected as the experimental and control groups. The learning task was individualized through the use of each subject's own name.

The Use Of "Fashion Therapy" As Adjunctive Therapy In The Rehabilitation Of Psychiatric Patients, Virginia Geddes Eyestone
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Mental illness is one of the greatest public health problems and foremost challenges of our time. However, because of improved medical practices and modern research methods, more mental patients are now being released and returned to society than at any other recorded period.
The mentally ill person loses touch with reality. Things that once were of primary concern are no longer important. Many mental patients become accustomed to carelessness in dress and personal habits. This state of deterioration often remains as a mark of mental illness, and the resulting inappropriate dress frequently limits the activity of the individual. The patient …

Sex Preferences And Identifications Of Young Children, Loa Thomson
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
The acquisition of normal sex-role behavior is one of the fundamental tasks which goes into developing a healthy personality.

How does a little boy adopt the masculine role and learn to be a man? From the studies in clinical psychology and psychiatry, it is evident that personality maladjustments and certain forms of emotional disorders appear to be related to difficulties in sex-role adjustment. This suggests a close correlation between childhood …

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

In either case it consisted of one room only, where all the activities of the family group took place.
From this very primitive home we have a gradual evolution taking place until we have some of the convenient, well planned homes of today. They not only afford protection and shelter, but it is here that …
