The Value of Psychotherapy
Therapy and beyond
Empirical tests of philosophical intuitions
Leader self‐structure
We expand the conceptualization of positive leadership and hypothesize that leaders' ability to influence followers across varied complex situations will be enhanced through the development of a rich and multifaceted self‐construct. Utilizing self‐complexity theory and other aspects of research on self‐representation, we show how the structure and structural dynamics of leaders' self‐constructs are linked to their varied role demands by calling f…

Psychosocial Treatments for Multiple Unexplained Physical Symptoms
Objective Patients presenting with multiple medically unexplained physical symptoms, termed polysymptomatic somatizers, often incur excessive healthcare charges and fail to respond to standard medical treatment. The present article reviews the literature assessing the efficacy of psychosocial treatments for polysymptomatic somatizers. Methods Relevant articles were identified by scanning Medline and PsychLit. Thirty-four randomized, controlled st…
Self-complexity, self-evaluation, and depression
Six studies examined the relationship between self-complexity and variables related to self-evaluation. Self-complexity was found to comprise two components: positive self-complexity and negative self-complexity. Positive self-complexity was sensitive to methodological factors, namely, variations in stimulus materials used for self-ratings. Negative self-complexity was relatively stable in the face of different rating stimuli and tasks and was re…
Social Theory and Values
In a post-positivist era few social scientists defend the complete `value-neutrality' of their theories or research. Confusion remains, however, about the role of cultural and moral values in psychological theory and its applications to human concerns. Some key quandaries concerning values and social theory are sketched against a broad historical and philosophical backdrop. The approach to values and ideological underpinnings of explanatory socia…
The Hermeneutics of Personal Achievement
Behaviorism and Existentialism Revisited
Some of the ontological and epistemological underpinnings of behavioral and existential systems of psychology were examined with the aim of elucidating neglected parallels and affinities between them. The philosophical presuppositions of both behaviorism and existentialism share an inclination toward nominalism and an opposition to subjectivism. Both orientations view action in the world as the basic material out of which any conceptualization of…
Psychoanalysis and the Hermeneutic Turn
Through a discussion of Donald Spence's Narrative Truth and Historical Truth, a critical introduction to the hermeneutic or interpretive perspective is presented. Spence's book has generally been assumed to offer a hermeneutic reformulation of psychoanalysis. However, its presuppositions are incompatible with fundamental tenets of contemporary hermeneutic thought, as expressed in the philosophies of Heidegger, Gadamer, and the later Wittgenstein.…

The Multimodal Model as a Framework for Decision-Making in Psychotherapy
Concepts of General Systems Theory were invoked to highlight the decision-making character of psychotherapy and to propose a framework for increased systematization of therapeutic procedures. The formal characteristics of Lazarus' multimodal system were examined in terms of criteria specifying the conditions necessary for accountability in psychotherapy
Effects of Teacher Verbal and Nonverbal Behaviors on Student Perceptions and Attitudes
Robert L. Woolfolk, Anita E. Woolfolk, Effects of Teacher Verbal and Nonverbal Behaviors on Student Perceptions and Attitudes, American Educational Research Journal, Vol. 11, No. 3 (Summer, 1974), pp. 297-303
Debate
In the main, previous well-controlled research on the effects of teacher behavior upon students has excluded consideration of nonverbal dimensions of teacher communications. The essential and important elements within the classroom situation have been presumed to be found through an analysis of the verbal communication (Galloway, 1971). Such an assumption draws little support from experienced teachers who know the potency of a glance, a gesture o…
Nonverbal Teacher Behaviors
The critique of this study (Galloway, 1974) raises several criticisms of the research as well as some key issues related to the study of nonverbal behavior in the classroom. In this writing we shall attempt to respond both to specific criticisms of the study and to questions of a more general nature. In seeking the answers to questions of human behavior researchers are invariably forced to choose either the laboratory or the field as the arena of…
