Psychology of the scientist: LXXXIV: Raymond Bernard Cattell (1905-1998).

This obituary of R. B. Cattell (1905-1998) describes briefly some of the evidence underlying the judgment that Cattell was one of the half dozen greatest psychologists of the twentieth century and also portrays the gentle thoughtful man he was as a family member, friend, and colleague.

Theodor Ziehen as child and adolescent psychiatrist. A belated commemoration on the 50th anniversary of his death

The 50th anniversary of the death of Theodor Ziehen was on December 29, 2000. As this occasion passed without fanfare, it is the authors' intent to recollect his importance in the field of child and adolescent psychiatry. A short description of his life and an evaluation of his scientific work is presented based on earlier publications. Ziehen (1862-1950) was an extraordinarily versatile scholar. He is regarded as a great psychiatrist, psychologist and philosopher, as well as one of the founding fathers of child psychiatry. He began work on developmental psychiatry in Jena, publishing his first article "Association Psychology in Childhood" in 1898. He worked in close collaboration with the educators Rein and Trüper. In 1902 the first part of his book "Mental Diseases in Childhood" was published, followed by further publications in 1904 and 1906. These volumes are regarded as the second most important in child psychiatry in Germany. His work is the first systematic and almost complete compendium in this field. Ziehen introduced the medical terms "affective psychosis" and "psychopathic constitution" to psychiatric literature. He also worked in the fields of medical education and education.

Bärbel Inhelder procura falsear o modelo piagetiano; antes da teoria de Popper (?)

Neste artigo, buscamos trazer à luz um dos aspectos desconhecidos do trabalho de uma das maiores psicólogas do século XX: Bärbel Inhelder. Até hoje apenas reconhecida como a maior colaboradora de Piaget, tem sido ignorada como a criadora de um método científico capaz de refutar (em vez de confirmar) um modelo hipotético-dedutivo na área da Psicologia, antes ou simultaneamente à idéia de Popper. Partiu do modelo matemático de Piaget, o agrupamento, e realizou seu estudo com oligofrênicos. Demonstra que quanto mais severo o comprometimento cerebral menor a presença de esboços dos agrupamentos subjacentes às ações e ao discurso das crianças e vice-versa.

Vygotsky's Contribution to the Development of Psychology

Lev Semenovich Vygotsky is one of the greatest psychologists of the first half of the 20th century. He entered science on the wave of its postrevolutionary transformations and contributed much to the creation of a Marxist psychology. Fifty years have passed since his death, but he remains one of the leaders in theory in the great school of Soviet psychologists, and has had considerable influence on all of world psychology.

The Intelligence Men: Makers of the IQ Controversy

Few debates have so polarized the scientific and lay communities over the past century as the IQ controversy. In this brilliant and highly readable volume, psychologist Raymond E. Fancher, author of books on Sigmund Freud and on the lives and ideas of the great psychologists, turns a historical eye toward the scientists who have played, leading roles in the intelligence debate. It is a rich and exciting narrative of the lives and ideas of such intellects as John Stuart Mill, Francis Galton, Alfred Binet, and Arthur Jensen, among others, who have shaped the concept of intelligence over the past two hundred years. This book illuminates a controversy that will not go away, one whose impact continues to be felt in many public educational systems throughout the Western world.

The Great Psychologists from Aristotle to Freud

The educated physician should have more than a nodding acquaintance with the great thought of the past, and thinkers who have contributed to our understanding of the mind are well worth study. A survey of the great psychologists, from Aristotle to Freud, might have been a fascinating and rewarding volume that could greatly enlarge our insights. Unfortunately, this book leaves much to be desired. When the author is dealing with the very recent past, discussing such men as James, Hall, Titchener, Watson, Wertheimer, and Freud, there is a reasonable effectiveness. However, when the earlier writers are discussed —from Thales and Hippocrates up through the early 19th century, the result is disappointing. The author treats ancient periods from the viewpoint of modern knowledge, instead of trying to enter into the concepts of the times. In no way does he make vivid the environment and culture of historical eras, nor does he

Some reflections on the design of game theoretic models for the study of negotiation and threats

One of the greatest sources of misunderstanding in the social sciences is the inability of many political scientists, sociologists, generalists, and a great many economists and psychologists, to understand what is meant by a formal model, and to comprehend what constitutes a legitimate or an unsound use of that model. On certain occasions, more mathematically inclined social scientists may use simple examples to illustrate methodology. Unfortunately, these examples can easily be misconstrued and given significance and content matter far beyond the initial intent of the expositor. Thus, in the past few years, there has been a rash of writing using two by two game matrices as a basis for discussions of threat and deterrence policies. It is unlikely that any international power situation can be adequately modelled for any purpose other than very simplified teaching by a two by two matrix.
