Soviet psychiatrists under Stalinist duress
A Scientific Session of the USSR Academy of Sciences and the USSR Academy of Medical Sciences met in 1950 in Moscow, to comply with the order of I. V. Stalin to institutionalize the theory of higher nervous activity of I. P. Pavlov. This Scientific Session decreed that annual scientific conferences should be held to consider problems related to Pavlovian physiology. In response to this call, a session on the 'Physiological Teachings of the Academ…
Pavlov and the mind-body problem
The 1950 Joint Scientific Session
In 1950, Stalin and the Soviet Government prevailed upon the USSR Academy of Sciences and the USSR Academy of Medical Sciences to organize the 1950 Joint Scientific Session for the purpose of formalizing the teachings of I.P. Pavlov. During the Session, some of Pavlov's erstwhile students--the Pavlovians--split into accusers and accused. The more prominent of the latter were denounced for deviating from the orthodox Pavlovian path, and urged to a…
Pavlov's conceptualization of paranoia within the theory of higher nervous activity
In 1934, I. P. Pavlov conceptualized paranoia within his theory of higher nervous activity. The conceptualization was based on the case study method used in the Psychiatric Clinic where Pavlov observed five cases diagnosed by psychiatrists as paranoiac or paranoid states. Furthermore, experiments with dogs as subjects produced behaviours that appeared analogous to paranoiac characteristics observed in the clinic. Pavlov's paranoia theory did not …

Psychiatric treatment and the condition of the mentally disturbed at Berlin's Charité in the early decades of the nineteenth century
The life of the mentally disturbed in psychiatric institutions during the first decades of the nineteenth century has been many times described by psychiatrists connected with those institutions. The accuracy of these accounts is, however, difficult to ascertain because independent testimonies are rare. Yet, such material on the conditions at the Psychiatric Section of Charité Hospital in Berlin, which was at that time Prussia's leading psychiatr…

Sleep as a cure for schizophrenia
In the early 1920s, the Swiss psychiatrist J. Kläsi, working under the directorship of E. Bleuler at Burghölzli, the Psychiatric Clinic of the University of Zürich, proposed the treatment of schizophrenia by prolonged sleep therapy induced by the hypnotic Somnifen. Judging from contemporary literature, Kläsi's proposal, which was based upon clinical experience, was accepted by many European psychiatrists, especially those in German-speaking count…
Pavlov's concept of schizophrenia as related to the theory of higher nervous activity
Mental disorders were studied intensely by I. P. Pavlov during the last six years of his life. He was greatly interested in the nature of, and therapy for, schizophrenia, and saw at least 45 cases diagnosed as schizophrenic at the Psychiatric Clinic located at the Balinskii Hospital in Leningrad. Pavlov did not perform experiments in the Clinic, but observed schizophrenic behaviour in collaboration with psychiatrists. He explained the behaviour o…
Pavlov’s position on the effects of decortication on conditional reflexes
The Case of the Renaissance Psychiatrist Peter Meir
Pavlov's view of the inheritance of acquired characteristics as it relates to theses concerning scientific change
Schilder and Pavlov’s theory of higher nervous activity
Pavlov and the Pavlovians in the laboratory
The general character of the Pavlovians and their role in the experimental investigation of conditioned reflexes is discussed. From 1897 to 1936, Ivan P. Pavlov had at least 146 co-workers and he was closely involved in their experimental work. The social background, nationality, and gender of the Pavlovians are described together with the daily routine in the laboratories. It is pointed out that, despite Pavlov's authoritarian style, the Pavlovi…
Pavlov's Religious Orientation
A number of works written in the Soviet Union in the post World War II era assert that I. P. Pavlov was an atheist and materialist. Pavlov's presumed anti-religious attitude is used as a weapon in the Soviet State's struggle against religion. Pavlov's own statements show that he was, indeed, an atheist. Nevertheless, Pavlov opposed the persecution of religion. According to his theory of higher nervous activity, religion is an instinct evoked by d…
Pavlov's position toward American behaviorism
Pavlov's development of the conditional reflex theory coincided with the rise of American behaviorism. Substituting an objective physiology for a subjective psychology, Pavlov saw in the rise of American behaviorism a clear confirmation of his method and theory. But in the early 1930s, Lashley attacked Pavlov's theory of specific cerebral localization of function, proposing instead the concept of an internal cerebral organization; Guthrie objecte…
Sex Roles and the Subjective
A Nonverbal Indicator of Attitudes
207 Thai college students made nonverbal responses to show their attitudes toward 5 abstract concepts and 5 social roles. Compared with American students (tested in the same way) Thai students demonstrated more cross-cultural similarity for abstract concepts than for social roles
Discrepancy of Self and Ideal-Self and Frequency of Daydreams Reported by Male Subjects
In a test of the Freudian theory of the daydream as a tension-reducing state it was expected that the greater the reported discrepancy between Self and Ideal-self, the greater the reported frequency of daydreaming. A significant and positive but low correlation obtained between the discrepancy score and daydream frequency, indicating some support for the Freudian theory of daydreams
