The 1965 “Gloria Films,” Then and Now
Everett Shostrom's 1965 Three Approaches to Psychotherapy films were created and used as demonstrations of how to do psychotherapy. After a brief account of how they came about, precises of the three films are presented to highlight major differences among them. These are followed by descriptions of post‐filming reactions and interactions of the participants—Gloria Szymanski, Carl Rogers, Fritz Perls, and Albert Ellis. Consideration then is given…
Three impersonal constructions in Muscogee
The term “impersonal” typically refers to sentence types with null or dummy subjects (Siewierska 2008, Creissels 2008). Muscogee has three different impersonal constructions in which an affix on a verb leads to an impersonal sentence type. This paper describes the impersonal passive in Muscogee as well as two distinct agentive and nonagentive impersonal affixes with arbitrary human reference. The description is based on narrative texts, elicitati…
Carl Rogers’ struggle to be “real” and its implications for understanding psychologists’ life–work connections and sociocultural impact
This study examines and interprets a significant connection between the life experiences and professional work of Carl Rogers. The focus is on Rogers’ life-long struggle to be “congruent” or “real” in his therapeutic, professional, and personal relationships, a challenge that he never managed to meet fully. In doing so, it illustrates the possible utility of studies of connections between the personal lives of psychologists, the psychological ide…
What is wise? A commentary on Streib’s “Wisdom and the Other”
“Wisdom” is considered to be an “essentially contested concept”. As such, wisdom resists precise definition and has been interpreted very differently across interpreters, historical times, and sociocultural contexts. Particular attention is given to Streib’s equation of wisdom and xenosophia. Xenosophia, as a pathos and openness to the alien other seems necessary for the kind of perspective taking and humility that Streib describes. However, it i…

Ernest Becker’s Dark Turn (1971-1973): A Critical “Deepening”
The “dark turn” evident in Ernest Becker’s final two major works ( The Denial of Death and Escape From Evil) is described and explained in terms of its content and possible sources in the author’s work and life from 1971 to 1973. Becker’s mature philosophical anthropology, anthropodicy, and theory of evil are discussed, related to, and contrasted with his previous work and considered in the context of his life experiences, including his terminal …
Ernest Becker and Stanley Milgram: Twentieth-century students of evil
Both Stanley Milgram and Ernest Becker studied and theorized human evil and offered explanations for evil acts, such as those constituting the Holocaust. Yet the explanations offered by Becker and Milgram are strikingly different. In this essay, brief biographical records of their lives are provided. Differences in their research methods and theories are then examined and traced to relevant differences in their lives, education, and careers. Espe…
The Stigma Complex
Since the beginning of the twenty-first century, research on stigma has continued. Building on conceptual and empirical work, the recent period clarifies new types of stigmas, expansion of measures, identification of new directions, and increasingly complex levels. Standard beliefs have been challenged, the relationship between stigma research and public debates reconsidered, and new scientific foundations for policy and programs suggested. We be…
The Theory of Industrial Society and Cultural Schemata: Does the 'Cultural Myth of Stigma' Underlie the WHO Schizophrenia Paradox
The WHO's International Studies of Schizophrenia conclude that schizophrenia may have a more benign course in "developing" societies than in the West. The authors focus on this finding's most common corollary: cultural schemata are shaped by the transition from agrarian to industrial society. Developing societies are viewed as traditional, gemeinschaft cultures lacking the stigmatizing beliefs about persons with mental illness held in modern, ges…
Further imprecision will not a clarity bring
In this rejoinder, we suggest that Professor Tweney’s commentary on our article not only contains stark mischaracterizations of our analysis, but is rife with misunderstandings of basic quantitative theory, and loose, unfounded speculations. We conclude, in short, that it makes no contribution to the clarification of the phenomenon of regression towards the mean
The “Backbone” of Stigma: Identifying the Global Core of Public Prejudice Associated With Mental Illness
Objectives. We used the Stigma in Global Context–Mental Health Study to assess the core sentiments that represent consistent, salient public health intervention targets. Methods. Data from 16 countries employed a nationally representative sampling strategy, international collaboration for instrument development, and case vignettes with Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition depression and schizophrenia criteria. We …
Ernest Becker at Simon Fraser University (1969-1974)
The cultural anthropologist and humanist Ernest Becker spent the final four and a half years of his life at Simon Fraser University (SFU) in British Columbia, Canada. During these years, Becker’s thought and work underwent a profound transformation that resulted in the publication of the Pulitzer Prize–winning book, The Denial of Death, and a highly praised companion book, published posthumously, Escape From Evil. However, surprisingly little has…

The Psychology of Personhood: Philosophical, Historical, Social-Developmental, and Narrative Perspectives
What is a person? Surprisingly little attention is given to this question in psychology. For much of the past century, psychology has tended to focus on the systematic study of processes rather than on the persons who enact and embody them. In contrast to the reductionist picture of much mainstream theorising, which construes persons as their mental lives, behaviours or neurophysiological particulars, The Psychology of Personhood presents persons…
Revisiting Ernest Becker’s Psychology of Human Striving
Ernest Becker’s psychology of human striving is a unique blend of pragmatic, post-Freudian, and existential thought that explicates central features of the human condition and experience. It is both a psychological and philosophical anthropology. In consequence, despite being mostly ignored by psychologists, Becker’s work continues to be relevant, even instructive, to past and more recent attempts to formulate a psychology of personhood, especial…
The mythologization of regression towards the mean
In the quantitative methodology literature, there now exists what can be considered a received account of the enigmatic phenomenon known as regression towards the mean (RTM), the origins of which can be traced to the work of Sir Francis Galton circa 1885. On the received account, RTM is, variably, portrayed as a ubiquitous, unobservable property of individual-level difference and change phenomena, a force that impacts upon the characteristics of …
“A Disease Like Any Other”? A Decade of Change in Public Reactions to Schizophrenia, Depression, and Alcohol Dependence
OBJECTIVE: Clinicians, advocates, and policy makers have presented mental illnesses as medical diseases in efforts to overcome low service use, poor adherence rates, and stigma. The authors examined the impact of this approach with a 10-year comparison of public endorsement of treatment and prejudice. METHOD: The authors analyzed responses to vignettes in the mental health modules of the 1996 and 2006 General Social Survey describing individuals …

Middle-Ground Theorizing, Realism, and Objectivity in Psychology: A Commentary on Held (2007)
Held's (2007) critical analysis of the ontological and epistemological positions of theoretical psychologists whom she labels “middle-ground theorists” is examined, and her own positions concerning realism, truth, and objectivity in psychology are considered. Several key misinterpretations and misunderstandings are identified in Held's account, and her own theoretical framework is judged to be untenable with respect to the phenomena of psychology…
Does Interpretation in Psychology Differ From Interpretation in Natural Science
Following an initial discussion of the general nature of interpretation in contemporary psychology, and social and natural science, relevant views of Charles Taylor and Thomas Kuhn are considered in some detail. Although both Taylor and Kuhn agree that interpretation in the social or human sciences differs in some ways from interpretation in the natural sciences, they disagree about the nature and origins of such difference. Our own analysis foll…

Taking and Coordinating Perspectives: From Prereflective Interactivity, through Reflective Intersubjectivity, to Metareflective Sociality
Despite being eclipsed in recent years by simulation theory, theory of mind and accounts of executive functioning, social-relational approaches to perspective taking and coordination based on the ideas of Jean Piaget and George Herbert Mead have never completely disappeared from the literature of developmental psychology. According to the social-relational view presented here, perspectives are holistic orientations to situations, within which ind…

Problem Drinking Patterns among African Americans: The Impacts of Reports of Discrimination, Perceptions of Prejudice, and 'Risky' Coping Strategies
This research builds on a series of recent studies that have reported independent effects of personal experiences of racial discrimination on poor mental health outcomes. We suggest that for one mental health outcome, problem drinking, discrimination experiences have an impact not only via abridged socioeconomic attainment and the frustrations associated with institutionally limited opportunity structures, but also by directly increasing the like…
Of Fear and Loathing: The Role of 'Disturbing Behavior,' Labels, and Causal Attributions in Shaping Public Attitudes toward People with Mental Illness
Our paper couples previous research on attitudes toward people with illness and more general sociological research on attitudes toward out-groups to examine the role offive factors that influence the public s willingness to interact with people with health problems, including. the nature of the behavior described, causal attributions of the behavior s source, perceived dangerousness of the person, the label of mental illness, and the sociodemogra…
The Moral Dimension: A Conceptualization and Empirical Demonstration of the Moral Nature of Psychotherapeutic Conversations
The authors argue that counseling psychologists will benefit from the development of conceptual frameworks that focus attention and consideration on the moral dimensions of psychotherapeutic practice. The authors present such a conceptualization with respect to actual psychotherapeutic conversations, and they provide an empirical illustration of how this conceptual framework illuminates the moral dimension of such conversations. The authors also …
The Construction of Fear: Americans' Preferences for Social Distance from Children and Adolescents with Mental Health Problems
Debates about children's mental health problems have raised questions about the reliability and validity of diagnosis and treatment. However, little research has focused on social reactions to children with mental health problems. This gap in research raises questions about competing theories of stigma, as well as specific factors shaping prejudice and discrimination toward those children. Here, we organize a general model of stigma that synthesi…
Unrewarding Work, Coworker Support, and Job Satisfaction: A Test of the Buffering Hypothesis
Beneficial effects of social support in the workplace have received only limited attention from sociologists. Workgroup interactions, especially social support received from coworkers, may significantly contribute to job satisfaction. This article assesses the effects of coworker support on job satisfaction, paying particular attention to the nature and influence of instrumental coworker support both relative to and in conjunction with affective …
The Profession of Medicine and the Public: Examining Americans' Changing Confidence in Physician Authority from the Beginning of the 'Health Care Crisis' to the Era of Health Care Reform
Recent work on the sociology of the professions, in general, and on the profession of medicine, in particular, target dramatic changes in the organization of social institutions, "boundary work" among professionals, and the implications of both for professional power. However, public attitudes cited in theories as a critical linchpin of professional status remain relatively unexplored in the face of these changes and widespread contentions of pub…

Under the Influence of Genetics: How Transdisciplinarity Leads Us to Rethink Social Pathways to Illness
This article describes both sociological and genetic theories of illness causation and derives propositions expected under each and under a transdisciplinary theoretical frame. The authors draw propositions from three theories -- fundamental causes, social stress processes, and social safety net theories -- and tailor hypotheses to the case of alcohol dependence. Analyses of a later wave of the Collaborative Study on the Genetics of Alcoholism re…

Race in the Workplace: Black/White Differences in the Sources of Job Satisfaction
Previous research on job satisfaction largely ignores possible race differences in its determinants. This study examines two explanations of a race/job satisfaction relationship: a structural perspective focuses on objective job rewards; a dispositional, on the role of worker orientations. The former implies that characteristics of race; the latter, that race leads to distinctive job needs and values and thus contributes to black/white difference…
Education and Job Satisfaction: The Influences of Gender, Wage-Earning Status, and Job Values
The match between workers' expected and actual job conditions has long been recognized as one determinate of job satisfaction. Research has suggested that education is an important variable in conditioning the kinds of expectations workers bring to the workplace. Interestingly, recent studies have found evidence that when job conditions do not correspond with educational attainment, the net effect of education on levels of worker satisfaction is …
Job Satisfaction, Job Reward Characteristics, and Employees' Problem Drinking Behaviors
Studies of job-based influences on employees' drinking have focused on the effects of structural and stress-producing features of jobs on alcohol consumption. Unexplored is the possibility of mediation of job-to-drinking effects via levels of job satisfaction. Using data from a large national probability sample of full-time workers, the current study tests a model that incorporates worker satisfaction as a mediating variable. Our analyses reveal …
Downsizing Survival: The Experience of Work and Organizational Commitment
Although downsizing has become a common feature of American workplaces, the existing literature has focused on the effects of how downsizing is conducted, rather than considering how downsizing affects the experience of work for downsizing survivors. Using data from the 1997 National Employee Survey and structural modeling techniques, this study compares downsizing survivors and workers unaffected by downsizing on a variety of sociodemographic in…
Sex, Family Wage-Earning Status, and Satisfaction with Work
Past examinations of the job-related sources of worker satisfaction, though numerous, have ignored the possible influences of sex and family wage earning status. Developing logic to suggest that working women with combined family and occupational roles bring unique job requirements into the workplace, this article derives and evaluates two models of the antecedents of satisfaction for working men and women. Multiple regression and covariance anal…

Drinking to cope and self‐medication: Characteristics of jobs in relation to workers' drinking behavior
This research extends recent studies of the relationship between characteristics of jobs and patterns of workers' alcohol consumption. Working within a ‘generalization perspective ’whereby job conditions are seen as having important effects on the mental health and behaviors of workers in non‐work settings, the current research derives and tests a model of four job‐related factors as they influence three aspects of alcohol use; the simple frequen…

Economic Sector and Job Satisfaction
In this article the relationship between economic sector and job satisfaction is explored. Given the absence of previous research, a framework relying on job satisfaction, dual labor market, and economic-segmentation literature is used to create two alternative hypotheses. If the externally defined objective characteristics of jobs are the critical factor in producing job satisfaction, then the 'better' jobs in the core sector will result in job …
Labor Management in the Southern Textile Industry: Comparing Qualitative, Quantitative, and Qualitative Comparative Analyses
This article explores a method developed by Ragin called qualitative comparative analysis or QCA. QCA would appear to offer two attractive possibilities: (a) it combines a consideration of systematic and ideographic elements in a single analysis; and (b) it overcomes some notable limitations of traditional quantitative and qualitative methods. The aim of the authors is to contrast the logic and results of QCA with traditional qualitative and quan…
Job Satisfaction and Absenteeism: Organizational, Individual, and Job-Related Correlates
This research estimates the extent to which job satisfaction and several of its correlates influence levels of reported absenteeism in a sample of American workers. The regression of absences on overall satisfaction with work and three classes of its correlates (e.g., job related, organizational, and individual-level) suggests that in the model evaluated, the only significant association with absenteeism is the anticipated negative relationship o…
Job Satisfaction and Age: A Test of Two Views
Previous impressionistic treatments of the sources of worker satisfaction have identified a stable, positive relationship between job satisfaction and age. But the current wisdom about this relationship remains largely at the level of zero-order associations and post-hoc explanations. Examining a national probability sample of 1,455 American workers drawn from the 1973 Quality of Employment Survey this research tests two explanations commonly fou…
The Educational Psychology of Self-Regulation: A Conceptual and Critical Analysis
Thought Operants
Explanations of the nature of thought and the methods of study underlying such explanations were explored from the viewpoints of introspective psychology, methodological behaviorism, and radical behaviorism. Empirical support for the radical behaviorists' interpretation of thought as covert operant behavior was examined. An experimental method was developed which attempted to analyze the functional properties of responsereinforcement connections …
Laboratory Studies of Self-Reinforcement (SR) Phenomena
Fifty-three empirical laboratory studies of self-reinforcement (SR) published between 1962 and 1977 are discussed and critiqued. Studies are organized under two major headings--infrahuman and human--and are summarized in relation to the acquisition, motivational properties and comparative effectiveness of SR procedures. Each experiment is rated in terms of the degree to which the procedures reported represent actual SR operations, and in terms of…
Instructional Supervision in Counselor Training
This article presents a model for the supervision of counselor training practica. The theoretical basis for the model is an instructional analysis of counseling effectiveness that borrows heavily from the discipline of instructional psychology, particularly in the areas of instructional theory and design, and the analysis of instructional skills and strategies. A discussion and integration of these theoretical elements is succeeded by a descripti…
Withitness: The Confusing Variable
A partial replication of Kounin’s correlational research findings with respect to the variable of teacher withitness is briefly described. Discrepancies between Kounin’s findings and those of the partial replication study are noted. Inconsistencies in the theoretical and methodological/operational definitions that Kounin proposes for the withitness variable are discussed as possible sources of these discrepancies. Suggestions are made for further…

The Effect of Religiosity on Alienation: A Multivariate Analysis of Normlessness
Religiosity constitutes a neglected variable in the research of alienation. The present study tests a theory of the effect of religiosity on the alienation dimension of normlessness. Data from the 1973 and 1976 NORC General Social Surveys suggest that the higher the religiosity, the lower the normlessness. This relationship is independent of variables drawn from other theories of normlessness such as the perspectives which link social class and u…

Toward an Information-Processing Theory of Client Change in Counseling
A model of the cognitive structures and processes thought to compose the human information-processing system is presented. Possible difficulties in processing information are discussed because these may contribute to client problems and concerns. Recent work in applying understandings, from human information processing to an elucidation of client change in counseling, is reviewed. Information-processing models of client-centered and rational-emot…

Cognitive Change in Clients: Cognitive-Mediational Models
Three descriptive frameworks drawn from empirical and theoretical study of human change and its facilitation in counseling are presented. The first is a cognitive-mediational model of therapeutic interaction. The second is a model of client cognitive change during and as a result of counseling. The third is a descriptive synthesis of therapeutic elements that seem to support such client change. The goal of these presentations is to contribute to …

A Rationale and Proposal for Cognitive-Mediational Research on Counseling and Psychotherapy
Cognitively oriented research on counseling and psychotherapy is criticized for ignoring the full implications of cognitive mediation for therapeutic science. A discussion of the individual uniqueness of human cognitive structures and the uncertainty of human social actions leads to a philosophical analysis of the relevance of these observations for a human social science of counseling psychology. Against this background, criteria for the conduct…
Protocol Analysis of the Social Problem Solving of Teachers
This study investigated social problem solving and cognitive style (field independence-dependence) in a sample of 70 teachers taking a summer course in counseling. To examine social problem solving, protocol analysis was utilized to determine how adults solved ill-defined interpersonal, intrapersonal, complex, and simple problems. Problem situations were scored for eight problem-solving elements (e.g., strategy, evaluation), three problem-solving…
