Download or read book Psychological Measurement and Prediction Part I Background for Psychological Measurement written by Paul Horst and published by . This book was released on 1964 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A report is presented on psychological measurement, serving as an introduction to a more ambitious program for synthesizing and integrating the theory and methodology of psychological measurement and scaling. It has been recognized for some years that psychological measurement or psychometrics is concerned primarily with the entity mode of a two mode data matrix, while psychological scaling has been concerned with the attribute mode. Obviously, the two are inextricably interrelated, as the more sophisticated developments in factor analysis have made abundantly explicit. In spite of this interdependence an opaque, or at best a translucent, curtain continues to hang between psychometric and scaling activities. It is hoped that this series of reports may be followed by full scale progrms to integrate the two fields of investigation, and that the recent ingenious and major developments of Professor Ledyard Tucker in multimode factor analysis may lead to a further integration of psychometric and scaling theory with learning theory and developmental psychology. Obviously, these latter involve the occasion mode of a three mode data matrix.

Download or read book Clinical Diagnosis of Mental Disorders written by Benjamin Wolman and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 1017 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For centuries the "treatment" of mentally disturbed individuals was quite simple. They were accused of collusion with evil spirits, hunted, and persecuted. The last "witch" was killed as late as 1782 in Switzerland. Mentally disturbed people did not fare much better even when the witchhunting days were gone. John Christian Reil gave the following description of mental pa tients at the crossroads of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries: We incarcerate these miserable creatures as if they were criminals in abandoned jails, near to the lairs of owls in barren canyons beyond the city gates, or in damp dungeons of prisons, where never a pitying look of a humanitarian penetrates; and we let them, in chains, rot in their own excrement. Their fetters have eaten off the flesh of their bones, and their emaciated pale faces look expectantly toward the graves which will end their misery and cover up our shamefulness. (1803) The great reforms introduced by Philippe Pinel at Bicetre in 1793 augured the beginning of a new approach. Pinel ascribed the "sick role," and called for compas sion and help. One does not need to know much about those he wants to hurt, but one must know a lot in order to help. Pinel's reform was followed by a rapid develop ment in research of causes, symptoms, and remedies of mental disorders. There are two main prerequisites for planning a treatment strategy.
