Four candidates were proposed and a vote taken. Freud (49 votes) and Eysenck (58) seem plausible candidates. I had not heard of Beck (62) but he turns out to be the founding father of cognitive behaviourism – a currently fashionable method of psycho-therapy. Naturally Beck won. The fourth candidate was Karl Jaspers (12), which surprised me as I had not thought of him as a psychologist.In 1910 Jaspers was commissioned by a publisher to write a new textbook for use in German medical schools.Allgemeine Psychopathologie(General Psychopathology) appeared in 1913 and Jaspers was responsible for several revised editions up to the fourth (1942), which he was not allowed to publish but which almost certainly appeared as the seventh in 1959, which was translated into English in 1962. Jaspers had appalling health and was never able to accept a full-time post in psychiatry. His (1913) work was accepted as Habilitationschrift for a post in the Heidelberg philosophy faculty, where he remained until 1948.This paper asks whether, though still highly regarded as a philosopher and public moralist, he can be regarded as a psychologist as the term is now understood.","PeriodicalId":123600,"journal":{"name":"History & Philosophy of Psychology","volume":"112 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124226352","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Much of the literature is unhelpful in its abstention from comprehensive and lucid accounts of the Galtonian eugenic origins of much published work on individual differences in intelligence and personality deemed as inherited, the multifaceted nature of eugenics itself, or the complexity of this legacy in the early 20th century. Despite some well researched accounts of highly specific aspects of eugenic influence, the wider picture often remains elusive. Yet as the implications of eugenics for studies of race, class, and the histories of institutions and academic disciplines are increasingly interrogated, this is ever more inappropriate. Its eugenic past forms part of the challenging history of British psychology. Though a single paper cannot address these issues in their entirety, this thematic reappraisal of Galton and his legacy in the early 20th century provides a crucial initial step.","PeriodicalId":123600,"journal":{"name":"History & Philosophy of Psychology","volume":"PP 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126530938","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, it will aim to bring into dialogue conceptions of the self in contemporary psychology and Christian theology and look at the growing body of work that brings the two perspectives into dialogue. It will be suggested that it is helpful to distinguish different kinds of psychological theory, such as representational and experiential theories, as the experience of a unitary self can exist alongside representational self-pluralism, and also to distinguish different theological traditions according to what assumptions they make about the origin of the soul. Neither tradition is monolithic in its approach. What at first appears to be a debate between psychology and theology can actually be found within both disciplines.","PeriodicalId":123600,"journal":{"name":"History & Philosophy of Psychology","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115802966","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

(2) broadcast political interviews – how and why do politicians fail to answer interviewer questions? (3) Prime Minister’s Questions – what are the distinctive features of the so-called ‘gladiatorial’ interactions between the Prime Minister and the Leader of the Opposition?
