Varieties and Sources of Artefactual Obsidian in the Middle Stone Age of the Middle Awash, Ethiopia
Recent investigation of the geochemical provenance of obsidian artefacts from spatially and temporally variable archaeological sites in Ethiopia has shown the diversity of geological sources and concomitant differences in the transport of raw material to archaeological sites, thus allowing reconstruction of the utilization of raw material by early hominids as well as recent humans. We recognize 30 compositionally different obsidians that were use…

The Roma children of Transylvania are probably the most materially deprived in Europe. They often live in one-room shacks made from wood and mud, with no running water, no sanitation, and sometimes no heating. Many rely on charity for their food and medicines. But, are they play deprived? This paper summarises an observational study of the play behaviours of children in a small Roma village. It highlights the striking contrast between the abject …

A socio-psychological analysis of race prejudice
Racial prejudice arises, not as a result of difference, which is only one element in the total situation, but as a consequence of the interaction of more intricate dynamic relations. It arises when an group (so designated by the group which maintains control of its habitat) is making the group's habitat its own. The superior group is constantly striving to maintain dominance over its habitat. If the inferior group accepts its position placidly an…
The nature of emotion and its relation to anti-social behavior
The psychopathic personality is not to be attributed to an organic or functional defect. Psychopathic behavior or maladjustment is strongly indicative of trial-and-error attempts to utilize the constantly accumulating energy generated in the presence of a stress situation for which the individual possesses no adequate outlet. Consequently, otherwise normal reactions become overcharged with energy and result in anti-social modes of response, or el…

Observations on the House-Tree-Person Drawing Test Before and After Surgery
The House-Tree-Person test was administered to a group of 22 surgical patients before and after surgery. Brief psychiatric investigations were conducted at approximately the same time.

The Patient Under Study for Cancer
This study sought to test the theory that patients coming to a cancer detection clinic would reveal more indications of body image disturbance associated with egocentricity, hypochondriasis, and anxiety than would psychiatric patients. It was further postulated that they would more nearly resemble patients attending the tumor clinic. The human (same-sex) figure drawings of 50 female CD patients were compared to those of 50 psychiatric patients (O…
