Criterios para la regulación temporal de las confrontaciones e interpretaciones
Título original: Some Criterio for the Timing of Confrontations and Interpretations (1951). International Journal of Psychanalysis, XXXII, (t. I), pp. 19-24
Ethnic Identity
Anxieties of the Castrator
The purpose of this study is to describe and to define the anxieties of the castrator, which are the symmetrical opposite of castration anxieties, and induce the castrator to expose himself to retaliation. The fact that the castrator's anxieties have been neglected in psychoanalytic literature is nearly incomprehensible. Though I do not think that any professional castrator of human beings was ever analyzed, the reactions of fathers who caused th…

From Anxiety to Method in the Behavioral Sciences
In "From Anxiety to Method in the Behavioral Sciences," George Devereux argues that anxiety, often viewed as an impediment to scientific objectivity, is an inherent and inevitable part of the research process, particularly in the behavioral sciences.

A Heuristic Measure of Cultural Affinity
The writer instructed two Yale students to copy from the Human Relations Area Files (HRAF) and from the Cross GCultural Survey Files (CCSF) all slips pertaining to so-called spontaneous parapsychological occurrences, including those which occur in a ritual context, but in an informal manner, such as the practical joking with pieces of scalding hot meat after such meat is handled ritually, as happens in some Plains tribes. One of these students wa…

A Primitive Slip of the Tongue
Data on the psychopathology of everyday life' have become increasingly rare in psychoanalytic publications, and are almost nonexistent in psychoanalytic studies of primitives.

The data about to be presented concern the village of Tea Ha, Sector of Dak To, Annam, Indochina, inhabited by members of the Central branch of the Sedang, a Mon-K…

I T IS AN interesting phenomenon that, concurrently with the increase of our insight into the somatic pathology of the so-called neuroses and psychoses, there has set in a reaction against the long neglect of socialcultural factors in the pathogenesis and symptomatology of these disorders. At the present time, this reaction has become overly conscious of socialcultural factors, and has possibly overstepped the limits of scientific discretion. Thi…

A Conceptual Scheme of Society
Society is not an emergent. It is introduced into sociological discourse by subjecting sets of sense data pertaining to individuals to logical analysis in terms of the basic concepts of probability and of statistical mechanics. Sociology needs only three operationally definable basic concepts: "individual," "order," and "motion." Social equilibrium is defined with respect to social mobility. Units of social space and the concept of social mass ar…
