The Mastery of Fear
by William S. Walsh (1924). Doctor Walsh is a practical and popular minded physician who finds the manifestations of fear in almost everyone on almost every ...occasion. He sets forth some of the foibles of fears and suggestions for "getting them under control" in this book. Unfortunately he is not as scientific and up-to-date minded as he is practical and popular. Watson, Cannon, and the psychoanalysts receive scarcely a small paragraph together, but twenty-five pages are devoted to sex hygiene and another half dozen to constipation. Aside from looking after one's habits of sex and defecation all that is left to master fear are "measures that strengthen the will." This resembles the one horse shay logically as well as in age but not in worthiness of construction or materials.
Reviews the book, Dreads and Besetting Fears by Tom A. Williams. Fourteen chapters make up the book, and their titles indicate its contents: "Early origins of dreads; Bashfulness and kindred states; ...College breakdowns; Fear and stammering; Anxiety states; Occupational phobias; Fear of crowds, open spaces, etc.; Other common phobias; Physical conditions and fear; Heredity and fear; Fear by induction; the Fascination of fear; the Utilization and management of fear; and the Dispelling of fear." Doctor Williams of Washington is to be heartily congratulated on a readable and highly useful book.

Dobijene su značajne razlike u dimenzijama od kojih zavisi proces socijalizacije između ispitanica koje se aktivno bave sportom, ,koje neredovito treniraju, te onih koje se uopće ne bave sportom. One ...koje redovno treniraju pokazale su u pravilu značajno veći stupanj socijalizacije.

Reviews the book, Your Child's Mind and Body by Flanders Dunbar (see record 1949-04692-000). This guide for parents is intended to answer important "little" questions which are often omitted in books ...about the physical and emotional care of children. Dr. Dunbar finds that the crises most characteristic of each of the first six years are tied up with the functions of sleeping, eating, playing, obedience and independence, and her book is a simple and practical discussion of such crises with concrete suggestions for meeting them. Throughout her book, Dr. Dunbar underlines the individuality of the child and the importance of respecting him as a person. Dr. Dunbar tries to maintain a note of reassurance throughout her book, giving facts, pointing out errors, but telling parents that mistakes will happen and that most of them are correctible. In reviewer's opinion, Dr. Dunbar has written one of the most readable books upon child rearing which has been offered to the public in recent years.

Reviews the book, Patterns of Parent Behavior (Psychological Monographs Vol. 58, No.3) by Alfred L. Baldwin, Joan Kalhorn, and Fay Huffman Bresse (1945). This study of parent behavior, using material ...obtained through a home visiting program, is part of a long term longitudinal study of child development. The study begins before the birth of the child. The observation of parent behavior, by a carefully trained home visitor, is through semiannual two-hour visits to the parent at home with the child. The authors arrive at a classification of parent behavior in terms of three variables: the degree of democracy in the home; the degree of acceptance of the child; and the degree of indulgence. This study is an example of the creative and constructive use of a combination of statistical analysis and individual case study, combining creativity with a reasonable measure of objective control.

Considers that while there are a number of current reviews of the literature which emphasize the important relationships between CNS system variables and emotion, less attention has been given to the ...possible relevance of peripheral autonomic variables for a more comprehensive understanding of emotional behavior. Findings which are relevant to current concepts of the physiology of emotions are examined within the traditional and familiar framework of the James-Lange theory of emotion. This theory generated a number of hypotheses regarding peripheral autonomic functioning, and a great deal of research has accumulated relevant to them. Commonly reiterated and controversial aspects of the theory are reviewed in terms of current research findings of physiological functioning, studies involving the artificial induction of autonomic responses, differential patterns of physiological response, and feedback to the CNS autonomic activity.

The analysis of children should be limited to those suffering from severe neuroses. Perhaps for the time being it may be well to limit this still further to those children who have failed to respond ...to general measures, such as lessening the emotional tension surrounding the child in the home and in the school; removal from an atmosphere that encourages the continuation of the neurotic pattern, or lessening the neurosis of the parent. Some child analysts attempt to limit their treatment to the child of parents who have been analyzed. The primary object of analyzing the child, as in the case of the adult, is to lessen suffering through getting at underlying causes. The suffering is not always limited to the child, and frequently it is the environment that is disturbed to such an extent that child analysis is required. The goal of treatment is to prevent the child's reacting in a neurotic manner to difficult reality and, if successful, the abili ty to accept reali ty should persist.

Emotional reactions to divorce are described, with particular reference to the loss of social definition faced by members of the separating family. It is suggested that, for children in particular, ...disruption of the family matrix constitutes a crisis of meaning and belonging that may be central to the impact of divorce.
Gray's conception hypothesizes that anxiolytics act indirectly to impair the behavioural inhibition system through GABA-ergic modulation of the ascending NA and 5-HT pathways to the hippocampus. The ...obtained results support this theory.
