This study, based on an extensive program of interviewing former American, British, French, and Italian Communists, provides many answers to these questions and gives a convincing insight into the motivations, tensions, and loyalties of Party members. First, the book examines Communist literature (the Lenin and Stalin classics and current Party media) to see what the Communists themselves expect of their movement. Then it shows whether this ideal is realized by the people who have "been through it." The final sections, which follow the interviews closely, reveal what actually happens to people when they join, while they are in the Party, and after they leave.

FOREWORD: TO THE SOCIETY for the Psychological Study of Social Issues Readings in Social Psychology has been a continuing source of pride and satisfaction. The publication of a third edition of this widely used and much appreciated volume is for the Sociely a happy occasion.

Newcomb and Hartley, in their preface to the first edition, spoke of future editions that would keep pace with developments in the field and so meet the needs of teachers and students. They correctly anticipated continuing expansion and development of the field of social psychology. Just as 50 percent of the selections in the second edition consisted of material that did not appear in the first, so does a large proportion of this new version consist of reports of empirical studies that have been carried out since 1952.The task of surveying the literature of social psychology over a five-year period has become an undertaking of truly staggering proportions. To Eleanor Maccoby, who has carried out with devoted care the greater part of this task, the Society owes an enormous debt of gratitude. We here express to her, to her fellow editors whose wisdom in selecting readings we have come to take for granted, and to the contributors to the volume our heartfelt thanks.

Prepared for the Committee on the Teaching of Social Psychology of The Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues.

In the early 20th century, the Watertown Arsenal became a beacon of innovation through the application of Frederick Taylor's principles of scientific management. From 1908 to 1915, the implementation of Taylorism revolutionized production processes at the arsenal, setting a new standard for efficiency and productivity in manufacturing.

Under the guidance of Taylor and his associates, the arsenal workers were meticulously studied and their tasks meticulously analyzed to streamline operations. By breaking down each job into its most basic components and utilizing time-motion studies, the workers' productivity levels soared, leading to significant improvements in output and quality.

The adoption of scientific management at Watertown Arsenal not only transformed manufacturing practices but also influenced the broader industrial landscape, setting the stage for modern management techniques that are still in use today. This period stands as a testament to the power of applying scientific principles to optimize processes and achieve remarkable results.

Gabriel Tarde. Edited and with an Introduction by TERRY N. CLARK

PrefaceSOME OF THE NECLECT of Tarde in the English-speakingworld is due to the fact that several of his more serious works have never been translated. Accordingly, to present a meaningful sam-pling of his many contributions, it has been necessary to translate for the first time more than three-quarters of the selections contained in the present volume.The hackneyed dictum that there are no satisfactory translations must inevitably come to the mind of anyone attempting lorender Tarde's work in English, for he was a a stylist who enjoyed manipulating language as much as he did ideas. One is tempted to simplify his complex verbal constructions by rewording them in more contemporary English prose, especially when he deals with technical questions. But this would be to destroy the poetic elements of his work. While this is by no means a poetic translation—for we are not poets--we have retained some of Tarde's stylistic gymnastics rather than force him into the idiom of contemporary social science. For his own set of technical concepts, which are only partially translatable into those currently in use, we have sought the closest English equivalents.The translation was accomplished in three stages. N. ClaireEllis, a graduate student at the Universily of Chicago, prepared afirst draft, which was then checked and edited line by line by Priscilla P. Clark, assistant professor of French at the University ofIllinois at Chicago Circle, Finally, Terry N. Clark reviewed the translation once again, revising it and adding editorial comments in conjunction with Priscilla P. Clark.

We come to bury therapy and give birth to "teaching as the preferred mode of treatment." Human needs are expanding at such a geometric rate that we can no longer afford the luxury of the traditional modes of counseling and psychotherapy. They have not delivered. They can-not deliver. Those of us who are too tired to change so that we can do the things that will deliver must simply move over and allow those who are not too tired to make the changes.

FROM THE PREFACE: Scholars engaged in a broad range of disciplines should find this anthology useful. I selected the articles to display the many facets of Lewin's intellectual interests: philosophy of science; social, developmental, personality, motivational, cognitive, and clinical psychology; social organization; social problems; and scientific methodology. Scholars may also find in the compleat social scientist, thus revealed, a model to which they may aspire, if only in part, in considering the directions of their own careers. Readers in disparate fields will find it illuminating to read Lewin's articles in fields related to but not their own. I have endeavored to help make the connections among the various articles more apparent with some commentary and with a brief intellectual biography of Lewin that speculates on the common sources of his many creative ideas.

FROM THE PREFACE: Prediction has always been an important topic in criminology. • Prediction instruments have been used extensively to aid criminal justice decisionmakers, most notably in selecting prisoners for parole. Current uses of prediction methods include the identification of offenders for a policy of "selective incapacitation" and the identifiction of dangerous offenders. Prediction methods are also used to evaluate different kinds of penal treatments and to assess the likely effects of penal policy changes on the criminal justice system. As a by-product of this substantive research, a good deal of attention has been paid to the statistical and methodological issues involved in constructing sound prediction instruments.
