The Freudian emphasis on sex.

Schmalhausen, Samuel D.

Pages: 21 –44

No criticism has been more often hurled at Freud than that he has stressed sex too much. The very insistence and universality of the criticism make one feel as if it were reasonably true. But, in another sense, the criticism is a dodge, a sheer evasion. The dramatist uses a method of theatric...

The rle of inferiority in human behavior.

Schmalhausen, Samuel D.

Pages: 45 –70

It is doubtful if any phase of life, especially of human life, is free from the taint of insecurity. The helplessness of homo is perhaps the largest fact in history.

Psychiatry to the rescue.

Schmalhausen, Samuel D.

Pages: 71 –104

Is prostitution petering out?

Schmalhausen, Samuel D.

Pages: 105 –125

Problems of the sexes.

Schmalhausen, Samuel D.

Pages: 126 –157

The science of re-education.

Schmalhausen, Samuel D.

Pages: 161 –164

No more significant tendency in the human sciences well be imagined than the interpenetration of medicine and psychology.

Mental hygiene: The quintessence of the new psychology.

Schmalhausen, Samuel D.

Pages: 165 –200

The evil origin of psychology in metaphysical habits of mind (at a time when philosophy was pursuing strange phantoms in ontological blind alleys) prepared the pattern for a vast amount of brilliant sterility in the pioneer phase of psychology. A sterile abstractionism had reduced philosophy to a...

A psycho-sexual inventory.

Schmalhausen, Samuel D.

Pages: 201 –227

Within the astonishingly brief period of less than 15 years a most drastic revolution, medical and academic, has taken place in the world of the psychologists. The center of gravity has shifted from the intellectual to the emotional factors in behavior and experience. The recognition, the...

The problem of childhood.

Schmalhausen, Samuel D.

Pages: 228 –254

It might be interesting to consider the result that recurs in the several experimental studies of research by S. D. House ("A Mental Hygiene Inventory" [A Contribution to Dynamic Psychology], Archives of Psychology, No. 88, 1927, Vol 14[88], see record 1928-00422-001) viz., the existence of an...
