An in-depth look at 16 textbooks in child psychology was made. One notable outcome was 96 journal articles published prior to 1950 were cited in three or more instances. Some elaboration is provided for 36 of them. Second, these articles are found in a number of journals, though two dominate. Third, there are “classical” authors, persons who have made major contributions to the literature on developmental psychology. A fourth finding was that reverence for the past and reverence for bibliography in general varies widely in the reviewed textbooks. Finally, certain texts appear to include more of the major articles or “classics” than do others. Suggestions for further research are made.

  Most epidemiological studies focus on the direct causes of diseases while wider, social causal factors are ignored. This paper briefly highlights the history of major epidemics and the role of Anthropocene and Capitalocene for the emergence and reemergence of pandemics like COVID-19. Books, journal articles, and statistics offer information that can explain the phenomena. A historical inquiry can inform us about the fundamental causes of pandemics. Human security and ecology are intertwined, and the global effect of pandemics responded to at the national level is inadequate. The lessons from the past and present help us devise effective ethically and socially appropriate strategies to mitigate the threats. If the present crisis is not taken seriously at the global level, the world has to face more difficult challenges in years to come.

The Subject

The past two decades have seen a plethora of new information on American artist Thomas Hart Benton (1889–1975). Matthew Baigell pioneered Benton studies with his monograph on the artist in 1974, and Karal Ann Marling enhanced the subject with her survey of the artist's drawings in 1985. The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City developed and traveled an extensive show of Benton's paintings in the late 1980s and produced an extensive biography by curator Henry Adams. The centennial of Benton's birth generated even more material: exhibits of his prints and drawings, volumes of essays on his art and character, and a considerable number of magazine and journal articles assessing his importance in 20thcentury American culture. Even Prospects has done its part for Bentonia with essays by Marling (1981) and Barbara Ladner (1990).

A parallel is drawn between the geological principle of uniformitarianism and the presuppositions of contemporary behavior modification. The uniformitarian principle has four main aspects: (1) a concern with ultimate origins or ends is futile; (2) any change in topography is gradual rather than sudden, at least in terms of underlying events; (3) the forces that have effected change in the past continue to be operative today; and (4) the proper study of any phenomenon begins with its present state and the forces currently affecting it. Psychological examples of uniformitarian thinking are given for individual and for aggregate behavior.

Since the United Nations was formed by 51 nations on June 26, 1945, psychology organizations were slow to register with the UN as nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) in the past 75 years. This essay briefly describes the four-stage history of psychology NGOs at the United Nations, which have grown far more active and coordinated since 2004.

History Of

A look at 12 textbooks in abnormal psychology was taken. One point of worth is that there are 89 journal articles published prior to 1950 that are cited in two or more texts, and these may be called “classics” in abnormal psychology. Second, certain journals dominate in terms of publishing these “classics,” with two-thirds of them originating from medical/psychiatric publications (which are the oldest journals). Third, certain themes are prominent within the group, namely, children's disorders and functional psychoses. A fourth finding was that texts in abnormal psychology vary rather widely both in terms of their reverence for the bibliographical past and in terms of their general reverence for references of any vintage. Finally, certain texts appear to include more of the “classics” than do others. Suggestions for further research aimed at “classical” books and potential “classics” of the future are made.

Major Figure

Designations of major figures (max. = 3) were obtained in each of 1767 history-of-psychology publications (mostly journal articles) from 1975 to 1986. The distribution of these major-figure designations of psychologists was compared with the distribution of a measure of eminence that was developed by Zusne in 1985 and is based on the amount of textbook-page-space given to an individual. The two measures correlate significantly but are not equivalent. Those judged to be major figures in contemporary history-of-psychology journals overlap less than 20% with those designated eminent by virtue of large page-space coverage in history-of-psychology textbooks. Advantages and disadvantages of major-figure designations as an index of the importance or eminence of psychologists are discussed.
