However, scholars interpret her views in divergent ways. This paper focuses on Gilman's philosophy, as can be gathered from her non-fiction publications and reform proposals. It examines Gilman's work in the context of her reaction to theories of biological and social evolution. It argues that Gilman should be considered a pragmatist social theorist for three main reasons: her postulation of a malleable human nature; her support of scientific and social experimentation as the best tool to reach knowledge about the world and to transform it; and her defense of social democracy as a political, social, economic, and ethical system. To claim Gilman as a pragmatist this paper first presents the main tenets of classical pragmatism in relation to ontology, epistemology, and ethics, based on the ideas of three of its main figures: William James, Jane Addams, and John Dewey. Like them, instead of accepting determinism, Gilman constructed a philosophy of action that gave primacy to human agency. For Gilman, a world that was not ready-made meant that humans could – and should – work to overcome the subjugation of women in the domestic space and their discrimination in the public realm.</p>","PeriodicalId":46047,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the History of the Behavioral Sciences","volume":"61 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2025-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12503072/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145239811","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The 1950s represented a transformation of the intellectual field for the so-called “conjectural sciences” and a form of <i>psychologization</i> of spiritualism. In fact, the appropriation of J.B. Rhine's test results in the United States proved useful to spiritualists. However, in the late 1940s, enthusiasm emerged among mathematicians to learn about Rhine's statistical procedures and tests. The aims are to analyze the emergence of parapsychology and the controversies surrounding its acceptance/rejection, to examine the emphasis of parapsychology on distancing itself from spiritualism to integrate into the Argentine psychological community, and to evaluate the strategies of Argentine spiritualists to validate their theories based on the works of J.B. Rhine. A historiographic analysis will be conducted through the compilation of relevant documents, books, magazines, and correspondence with authors and researchers from the period between 1945 and 1953. A process of demarcation between psychology and spiritualism in Argentina sought to purify parapsychology towards a position less contaminated by belief systems, in favor of the application of statistical and mathematical procedures of Rhinean orientation.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":46047,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the History of the Behavioral Sciences","volume":"61 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2025-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144905390","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It situates Podvoll's work within the broader dialogue between Buddhism and Western psychotherapy, highlighting how his contributions shed light on this dynamic and complex encounter. The paper begins by outlining Podvoll's psychiatric and psychoanalytic background, then examines the establishment of contemplative psychotherapy at Naropa, and finally discusses the creation of the Windhorse community therapy model—while contextualising Podvoll's dialogues with influential figures such as Chögyam Trungpa, Erik Erikson, Manfred Bleuler, and Oliver Sacks. Drawing on published and unpublished material by Podvoll, it argues that his work exemplified a pioneering effort to integrate Buddhist and psychoanalytic perspectives on mental health and recovery. At the same time, the paper reflects on some of the conceptual and therapeutic tensions that arise when spiritual and clinical paradigms converge. By examining contemplative psychotherapy as both a historical case study and a continuing experiment, the paper contributes to ongoing debates about the possibilities—and limits—of East–West intersections in psychological practice.</p>","PeriodicalId":46047,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the History of the Behavioral Sciences","volume":"61 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2025-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/jhbs.70034","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144861742","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
