Full textAbstract:
Narrative psychologists have increasingly sought to understand how cultural, collective narratives relate to individual life narratives. Two promising approaches are the study of how cultural master narratives influence personal narratives, and the study of generativity. These developments need to be extended through analysis of the ‘politics of storytelling’ – the ways in which life and collective narratives are implicated in the sociopolitical milieu. We draw on Sartre’s late work on the interrelationship between biography and history. Sartre suggests an individual life can incarnate history either diachronically – when a person narrates their life with a focus on individual temporal development – or synchronically – when a person narrates their life with a focus on power relations between groups in society. We discuss the political implications of each form of narrative; how they relate the individual to history, im/mortality, and generativity; and how they involve forms of false or liberated consciousness.

Full textAbstract:
Thus far, published references to Henry Cowell's imprisonment consistently obscure the facts of his case and overlook virtually all of the essential primary sources, including court documents, correspondence, psychological evaluations, and even Cowell's own writings on the subject. Although Cowell acceded to a charge that he had engaged in homosexual activities with a minor, the charge was distorted by newspapers and both exaggerated and minimized by his friends. The extraordinary prison sentence Cowell received resulted largely from a misleading letter by a juvenile probation officer, written amid a political climate of severe antipathy toward sex offenders. During Cowell's incarceration, several leading psychologists evaluated the composer according to then-prevalent theories of homosexuality. These psychologists, along with several officers of the court, expressed faith in the composer's "rehabilitation" and their recommendations helped secure the composer a parole. Political changes in California and the entry of the United States into World War II paved the way for a pardon, which was granted primarily so that Cowell could work on a government project known as "cultural defense." Despite his impressive accomplishments in prison and the positive resolution of his case, Cowell never fully recovered from the experience. Scholarly repression of the facts ensued and led to fragmented, inaccurate accounts of the prison years. Hence, this part of Cowell's life provides a useful test case on some persistent issues in musical biography.

Full textAbstract:
Discursive psychologists (Edley, 2001; Potter & Wetherell, 1987; Wetherell, 1998) have analysed identity work in talk, including the ways in which understandings which prevail in a wider social context are taken up or resisted as speakers position themselves and are positioned by others. In these terms, a narrative is generally understood in two ways. The first is as an established understanding of sequence or consequence, such as a potential life trajectory, which becomes a discursive resource for speakers to draw on (cf. Bruner’s ‘canonical narratives’, 1991). The second is of a narrative as a situated construction, such as the biography produced by a speaker within a particular interaction. In this article, I propose an expanded analytic focus which considers how the versions of a biographical narrative produced in previous tellings become resources for future talk, thus setting constraints on a reflexive speaker’s work to construct a coherent identity across separate interactions and contexts (Taylor & Littleton, forthcoming).

In this article, I discuss the issues of mixed marriages, referring to research conducted by Polish sociologists, psychologists and educators. On this basis, I try to show possible areas of conflict in this type of relationships, various strategies for working out compromises as well as various relations with the social microstructure. I emphasise problems related to bringing up children in a bi-cultural family environment, in particular aspects of bi-religious home education. My intention is also to identify potential areas of intercultural enrichment and the emergence of new cultural capital in mixed families. I also reflect on PolishJewish marriages by recalling the biography of a representative of the third generation of the Holocaust survivors, married to a Catholic, who has introduced, together with her husband, a model of dualistic education. The research was based on the biographical method, unstructured/indepth interviews. The article presents one of the elements of broader research, which focused on the construction of the socio-cultural identity of the narrators.

Full textAbstract:
Background: The article makes an attempt to define health state and probable illnesses of the last hetman of Ukraine Kyrylo Rozumovskyi in the last years of his life.
Methods: The study is based on using and analyzing of the memoirs and biography books, containing records and detailed description of health state of K. Rozumovskyi, and documentary archive materials with the samples of his handwriting. To analyze the handwriting of K. Rozumovskyi, the special graphological test developed by Polish physicians of National Health Institute in cooperation with psychologists and graphologists was used.
Results: According to the authors’ conclusions, K. Rozumovskyi suffered from diabetes mellitus, gout, and ischemic heart disease. He was vulnerable to common cold also. It is assumed that these diseases contributed to the myocardial infarction which caused his death in 1803.
Conclusion: Considering the lack of the system of professional medicine in XVII, XVIII, early XIX century, using graphological method for determining the health of well-known people of these times, is effective.

The article represents the author’s view of his way in psychology including science research, university lecturing, organizational and other professional lines of its development. It is demonstrated through some fragments of the author’s biography closely connected with the initial period of the Department of Psychology of the Moscow State Lomonosov University (MSU) that was established in the middle of sixties of the last century and also — with some facts of the author’s following activity in the fields of psychological science and practice. The role of the school of thought is underlined since the author was lucky to meet such outstanding psychologists as P.Ya. Galperin, A.V. Zaporozhets, B.W. Zeygarnic, A.N. Leontiev, D.B. Elconin etc. as his teachers. However the special role of P.Ya. Galperin as a Teacher in science and life for the author is underlined. The article consists of two parts. The first part published here uncovers some episodes of the author’s biography where some of his family roots are described. Several outstanding church figures, theologists, preachers and teachers among them, are meant, some of them appeared to be connected with the MSU. There is also the story of the mother’s fate who was repressed at Stalin’s period. Certain attention is paid to the the author’s life as a university student. Beside some episodes of “psychological life” that may be interesting within the context of time and place there are some fragments that demonstrate the author’s active position at the choice of his scientific path. The post-graduate stage where the author was forming his own “school of thought” is also described. Then there are periods of the further research and teaching activity as a professional psychologist working at the level of post-graduate and continuing education at the leading Moscow universities, including MSU. The Moscow Architectural Institute is also one of them. It is as the institution where the author’s doctoral theses on the problems of project simulation and creativity in the architectural education were prepared and defended. Another working period connected with organisational activity at the high levels of managing of the educational system of the USSR and the at the Russian Academy of Education are also briefly described. The article is made in the form of interview with the author conducted within the frames of the project “Psychologyst-and-I”. Live stories” of the Moscow State University of Psychology and Education (MSUPE). The author and leader of the project: V.T. Kudriavtsev. The meeting took place on the 4-th of February 2021.

Abstract In 1935, the graylag goose Martina (1935–?) hatched from an egg in the home of the zoologist Konrad Lorenz (1903–1989). Martina imprinted on Lorenz, slept in his bedroom, mated with the gander Martin, and flew off in 1937. Over the following decades, Konrad Lorenz helped to establish the discipline of ethology, received a share of the 1973 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, and continued to write about his famous goose Martina. This essay examines the different instantiations of the geese in general, and Martina in particular, in Lorenz's writings aimed at readerships that included prewar zoologists, National Socialist psychologists, and popular audiences from the 1930s to 1980s. By developing an animal with her own biography, Lorenz created an individual whose lived and rhetorical agency made her especially well suited to perform widely divergent aspects of his evolving science. While a significant literature in the history of science has explored the standardization and stabilization of animals in science, I show how Lorenz's creation of a highly protean and increasingly public Martina was co-constitutive of the establishment of his science and public persona.

Die biographische Selbstdarstellung eines der wichtigsten intellektuellen Stichwortgeber der frühen Bundesrepublik wird einer kritischen Überprüfung unterzogen. Der Arzt, Psychoanalytiker und Sozialpsychologe Alexander Mitscherlich (1908-1982) hat mit seinen politischen Stellungnahmen und sozialpsychologischen Analysen das intellektuelle Profil der Bundesrepublik maßgeblich geprägt. Werke wie »Auf dem Weg zur vaterlosen Gesellschaft« oder »Die Unfähigkeit zu trauern« stehen noch heute für wichtige Entwicklungen und Stimmungslagen der westdeutschen Gesellschaft in der Nachkriegszeit. Anhand von bisher unveröffentlichtem Material entwirft Martin Dehli die Biographie Mitscherlichs vor dem Hintergrund der deutschen Geschichte des 20. Jahrhunderts: Sie führt von den nationalrevolutionären Zirkeln um Ernst Jünger und Ernst Niekisch im Berlin der frühen dreißiger Jahre über Exil und Gefangenschaft nach Heidelberg und Frankfurt, von wo aus Mitscherlich sein Wirken entfaltete. Mitscherlich erscheint nicht als Ikone bundesrepublikanischen Selbstverständnisses, sondern in all der Widersprüchlichkeit, die einer Gründerfigur in einer Zeit des Übergangs zu eigen ist: in all dem Facettenreichtum und der Unmittelbarkeit, die Mitscherlichs politischem und wissenschaftlichem Wirken das Gewicht verliehen und so seinen Beitrag zur Modernisierung der deutschen Wissenschaft und Gesellschaft erst möglich gemacht haben.

Full textAbstract:
This autoethnography tells the story of my faith journey with a special focus on my years as a Catholic seminarian and the change towards embarking on a career as a clinical psychologist. Pertinent childhood experiences are also shared to contextualise my story. The narrative, “Wrestling Heart”, is the centre and the produced data of this autoethnography. As an “evocative” narrative, it independently seeks to fulfil many of the goals of an autoethnography, such as being therapeutic for both writer and readers, and imbuing culture with critical thinking. The sharing of the narrative is augmented with a thematic analysis of it and Carl Rogers’ Person-Centred Approach is mainly used to comprehend the gleaned themes. The movement towards a comprehension of my experience is consistent with the philosophical foundation of this study: phenomenology. It is envisaged that the utility of this study lies primarily in its interrogation of the relationship between religion and mental health, its in-depth depiction of an individual grappling with their faith in relation to mental health, and the way in which the writing of this autoethnography therapeutically fostered greater congruence for me the writer, as I prepare to work as a clinical psychologist.Psychology

AbstractIn the fall of 1994, the national obsession with the murder trial of a legendary football player was temporarily interrupted by a controversy over a book—not some sensationalized biography of a celebrity but a chart-filled 845-page tome, co-authored by a Harvard research psychologist and a policy wonk at the conservative think tank, the American Enterprise Institute. Despite its more than 100 pages of appendices on logistic regression and other technical, statistical issues, The Bell Curve: Intelligence and Class Structure in American Life became an instantaneous cause célèbre, providing its junior author, Charles Murray—Professor Richard J. Herrnstein having passed away only days before publication—with considerably more than his Warholian 15 minutes of fame and leading a reporter for the New York Times Magazine to designate him “the most dangerous” conservative in the country. Among the many “serious” periodicals to discuss the book at length, The New Republic devoted almost an entire issue to an essay by its authors along with a host of responses, and for some weeks Murray was a ubiquitous presence on television talk shows.

Abstract Homo sapiens is the biographical animal. Humans differ from other creatures not only in anticipating their group and individual future but in reviewing and recounting their personal past-and in being fascinated by the personal pasts of other humans. Even in cultures where formal biography has remained undeveloped, details of individual life history are shared and spread by gossip, rumor, and personal confession. In our culture, the biographical impulse still operates much of the time at this informal level. But a tradition of formal biography has evolved as well, beginning with Plutarch’s Parallel Lives. In this tradition, the biographer studies an individual’s life and prepares an orderly account of it.

Abstract Psychobiography is largely a postdictive enterprise. It looks backward over the course of a person’s life and tries to sort out why things happened as they did. That’s usually hard enough; predicting the forward course of a single life is a far trickier business. Even predicting the average behavior patterns of a large group of individuals is often more than psychologists can manage. As Sigmund Freud noted at the end of his Leonardo book, the individual’s personality constantly intersects with chance occurrences, in ways that set substantial “limits ... to what psycho-analysis can achieve in the field ofbiography.”1 These limits apply to psychobiography in general, not just to psychoanalytic biography.

Abstract Psychologists seem to agree that musical skills share many common features with skill-related phenomena in other areas outside of music, such as language, games, sports, science, and other domains. Music making entails perceptual skills (e.g., apprehending structural information as well as social information, including nonverbal cues exchanged between performer and audience), cognitive skills (e.g., memory, decision making, pattern recognition), and of course motor skills. These skills function, interact, and evolve in complex ways that we are slowly starting to understand. However, since each performer, be it the professional orchestra musician who earns his or her living playing an instrument or the amateur who plays solely for enjoyment, is a unique individual with his or her individual biography, there is no such thing as “the musical skill.” Instead, the ways in which the skill was developed as well as the final skill structure will necessarily differ from person to person as a result of individual learning histories. Each performer has artistic intentions, that is, a message to be conveyed. Some of these intentions are related to communicating information about the musical structure and expressive embellishments to it for aesthetically driven goals. For instance, slowing at a cadence point has become recognized generally in Western music as sounding “better” than not slowing. Other intentions are more emotionally directed, such as playing a piece “sorrowfully” or “happily.” Of course, music making does not happen in a vacuum; it most always involves other people, be they coperformers or members of the audience with whom the performer communicates. As a socially and culturally grounded skill, music making is one of the most important activities in all cultures. Attempting to understand musical skill is one way of paying tribute to the tremendous achievements of past and present musicians. At the same time, we may be able ultimately to derive suggestions for the improvement of music teaching and learning.

Full textAbstract:
Both Burns and his many nineteenth-century editors can be seen as performers who had a wide range of goals and a wide range of methods for pursuing them. From the Kilmarnock edition (1786) on, many forms of peritext, including prefaces, footnotes, and glossaries complemented the text of the poems. James Currie’s edition (1800) added more notes, a full-length biography, essays commenting on Burns’s works, and some letters, and this became the style for most of the major editions of the poet for a century. Illustrations were added, culminating in The Land of Burns (1840) with more than eighty engravings after David Octavius Hill. For Burns himself, this was a matter of his being positioned first as a regional and then as a national figure. His editors developed the image of Burns as a friend, a master psychologist, and a political figurehead.

This chapter contains a brief biography and transcript of an interview with Sven Hessle, a leader in Swedish social work education, who was awarded the Katherine Kendall Award of the International Association of Schools of Social Work in 2006, for his contribution to international social work education. Trained as a psychologist, after early experience as director of a therapeutic community for drug users, he worked with vulnerable multi-problem families. He later moved into research and teaching about child welfare practice in Sweden and internationally. He led a variety of projects to reconstruct social work in the former Yugoslavia, involving UNICEF and the Swedish International Development Agency, later becoming involved in other international projects in Asia. He argues for seeing a social aspect to many world problems and fears trends towards academization will diminish the value of the practical aspects of social work education.

Full textAbstract:
The present work aims to address the role that psychology plays within literary works starting from a "critical" reading aimed at understanding and recognizing the psychological and in some works also psychopathological traits present within the texts. Our goal will be to present the conscious and unconscious aspects of the various characters and identify the reasons that prompted the author to create and analyze certain psychological issues and certain environmental situations. The methodology that will be used will mainly be that indicated by Professor Antonio Fusco which aims and which tends to enhance the contribution of the Author's conscious Ego, of the emotional centers and of the unconscious contents of the mind following in part the line of the psychiatrist Silvano Arieti who in one of his main works illustrates the concept of �tertiary thinking� and sees it as a synthesis of unconscious, endoceptual and conceptual elements [1]. The aspects that will allow you to better understand the facets of a literary work will be reading, knowledge of the author's biography and identifying with the characteristic features of the characters. On the relationship between mind, art, literature and psychoanalysis over time we have had numerous contributions from not only Sigmund Freud, Carl Gustav Jung, but also many other authors. Just think of the various writers who have dealt with very important psychological and psychoanalytic themes through their novels; in the present work we will limit our attention to a psychological investigation of the work Zeno's conscience by Italo Svevo. Through the analysis of the characters and their inner life, it will be our task to be able to make the reader identify completely with the life described by the authors of the literary works. In this perspective, the psychologist will try to work alongside the traditional literary critic with the sole propose of providing a further humble investigative contribution. In conclusion, it can be said that the thread that binds psychology to many literary works is very thin.
