... , a restraint to repress or suppress ideas or theories one deems unwelcome. Gunnar Myrdal, the great social scientist, was well aware of the fact that, on a psychological level, scientists are human and, therefore, are as biased as anyone. He states, "Like people in general . . . scientists are apt to conceal ... can be overcome, namely, one's scientific prejudices. This straitjacket, or biased approach, I believe, well describes the mechanisms of Gould's criticisms of Velikovsky. Velikovsky and psychologists well know that humor is a way to deal with unbidden and misapprehended tension. It can also be a weapon to humiliate another and his views. Gould begins his ...

... the publication of Worlds in Collision, was a busy one in my younger life; I had several infants, a new professorship, and a more than passing engagement with psychological operations in the Korean War, then raging. So the scandal over the book's suppression and success left only a faint scratch upon my mind. However, in 1962 ... reflect a general scene which, since the first appearance of this volume, has been perhaps more congenial to the temperament of war correspondents than of cloistered scholars. The philosophical psychologist, William James, who once proposed sport as a substitute for warfare, might as well have proposed science and scholarship for the same function. Scientific battles also have ...

(p . 11 ) " A reporter named Theremon learns of this unusual phenomenon during an interview with Sheerin, a psychologist attached to a group of astronomers very much concerned with the entire matter.

... is a right-hand man for us on the KRONOS staff, he is going to be speaking on Concepts of Collective Memory and taking just a little bit different turn in the psychological aspects of Dr. Velikovsky's work." David Griffard (mumbles; interruption by loudspeaker; "I thought I heard my own voice speaking when I did not want ... another type of loss that once the memory is stored, the place where it's stored can be damaged, we think primarily in terms of brain damage, although from what psychologists have decided about memory, it seems to be very difficult to tell specifically what it is, there seems to be a great emphasis these days being made to chemical ...

... of experimental and other evidence in its support. Book Two shows how the witness of history supports this thesis: and in Book Three he attempts to show how many modern psychological phenomena can be understood in terms of the thesis. Summary: Book One. In the Introduction, Jaynes surveys the various theories on the subject of consciousness which purport ... perhaps the most difficult reading but is indispensible to the understanding of the rest since it contains his main thesis regarding the working of the human mind.

Book Two shows how ...

... or even referred to his own work in the area- to buttress his arguments. (The only major exception was his demonstration that Nebuchadnezzar and Hattusilis were the same person psychologically: Even then, the psychological argument was secondary to historiographic ones.) I have already suggested that Velikovsky felt compelled to reorder history in order to refute Freud's notion ... any evidence of phylogenetic memories of catastrophes in the dreams of his patients; such memories should be near-universal if his underlying assumptions were correct. Besides dream analysis, Jungian analytical psychologists also employ various "active imagination" techniques for exploring unconscious material. These techniques, including word-association tests (of which Jung pioneered the use), imaginary conversations with ...
27. Viva Lamarck: Renewed Discussion on the Inheritance of Acquired Characteristics [Journals] [Aeon]
... whose many books provide a wealth of evidence in favor of Lamarckian inheritance.(53) It is also worth noting that several of the greatest figures in the history of psychology- many of whom were active during this period- expressed a belief in Lamarckian inheritance, including Freud, Jung, Watson, McDougall, Bleuler, Pavlov and Piaget ... , did these distinguished researchers continue to adhere to a supposedly discredited form of inheritance? Their reasons were numerous and can only be briefly alluded to here. Among naturalists and psychologists alike there was a common belief that it was impossible to explain the remarkable instincts of animals without some direct transmission of the effects of experience. Freud summed up this ...

... once summarized two different approaches toward understanding the mutual interaction between self and society: The European focuses on the structural determinants of thought; the American, on the social and psychological consequences of the diffusion of opinion. The one centers on the source, the other on the result. The European asks, how does it come to be that ... of the zeros from Plato's date for the destruction of Atlantis, serious investigators have been allowed to encroach upon grounds perennially reserved for the occultists.
