Magic: A Theoretical Reassessment [and Comments and Replies]
Comparison of aspects of magical belief and practice with elements identified in experimental parapsychology suggests that some magical phenomena may have their basis in what parapsychology in call psi. Similarities are found between magic and parapsychology in (1) conditions that facilitate the manifestation of magical and psi phenomena, (2) the mental processes implicated as effective in producing magical and psi phenomena, (3) the basic princi…

The question of the survival of the unit is left unaswered but t…

The South Italian Family: Literature and Observation
The Italian family has long served as a classic example of familial solidarity in the sociological literature. Actually, however, most citations in American sociology refer more often to the Italo-American family than to the Italian family in its original culture setting. With but few exceptions, these studies were completed before World War II and little has been added to the literature since those crucial years
