The Combat Stress Process
Most research on combat exposure and mental health focuses on outcomes most soldiers do not experience, such as posttraumatic stress disorder and suicide. We focus instead on psychological distress using data from World War II. We find that more than 60 percent of Pacific Theater combat soldiers had very high psychological distress, which likely would have disqualified them for military service for psychiatric reasons in 1944. Their symptoms were…
The great escape
Psychocultural analysis stands as a signal accomplishment of the 1930s U.S. assimilation of European refugee‐intellectuals. Scholars in the U.S. had been moving toward a kind of psychocultural analysis well in advance of the Great Migration—the U.S. was not an intellectual vacuum or wasteland—nevertheless, it was through their interdisciplinary collaboration, fueled by the specter of war, that these international peers stimulated one of the most …
Importing Freud
For all that has been written about Freud, one of the most significant sites for his initial importation into the U.S. remains largely unexamined: namely, within and through the social sciences. During these early years, social scientists were attracted to psychoanalysis for reasons that were not only personal and idiosyncratic, but also intellectual, social, and professional. Focusing on the University of Chicago's Division of Social Sciences an…
William James on divine intimacy
William James’s interest in psychical phenomena spanned his entire career as a scholar, yet is has been largely neglected. Few if any have adequately incorporated this quirky side of James into their critical studies of his scholarly contributions, not only in religious studies but also in philosophy and psychology. Psychical research was nevertheless very much part of James’s intellectual endeavors and, as this article shall argue, sheds light o…
The 1904-05 Welsh Revival
Surveying the short history of pentecostalism in 1925, Frank Bartelman-a consummate "insider historian"-reckoned that although the Azusa Street revival had become "full grown" in Los Angeles, California, it was "rocked in the cradle of little Wales." In pentecostal historiography much ink has been spilled connecting the causal dots of precedence. From whence did the movement come? Los Angeles? India? Topeka, Kansas? Historians of pentecostalism a…
