COMPILED WITH COMMENTARY BY JOSEPH DE RIVERA

KURT Lewin was one of the founding members of the Society for the Psycho-logical Study of Social Issues (SPSSI), a group of some 3,000 persons with atruly democratic structure and set of ideals. In 1963, the Council of the Society decided to use the Kurt Lewin Memorial Fund to facilitate the translation and publication of some of the early papers by Lewin and his students, and accepted my proposal to give priority to the many doctoral dissertations that were supervised by Lewin and formed the empirical background for the development of field theory. While I believe that this was the best course of action,it does mean that the bulk of Lewin's own early work still remains to be translated. A listing of this work may be found in Alfred Marrow's biography,The Practical Theorist, and some of the royalties from this present book will be returned to the Lewin Memorial Fund and eventually used to insure the translation of these earlier studies.

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: The present work is the result of a series of connected studies, starting with some exploratory investigations in Oslo in 1956, continued in terms of a series of experiments in Minneapolis 1956-57, and followed up by a program for experimental research in Oslo 1957-58. The common core of the empirical studies, though, is a new kind of research instrument that was first tried out in Minneapolis during the fall of 1956. By constructing material representing stimulus persons systematically distributed in an "attribute surface" and by having subjects rank these artificially composed persons as potential friends, the author began accumulating new and interesting experimental evidence of particular relevance to the understanding of selective and intuitive social perception.

When is it appropriate to intervene in individual or large-scale disputes? How would intervention be most effective in helping an abused child, in resolving conflicts between labor and management, in mediating in a foreign war? In this wide-ranging and original book, a distinguished social psychologist provides a broad overview and analysis of the phenomenon of intervention in human affairs. Drawing on many historical and current examples of intervention, Leonard W. Doob considers what must be taken into account in the planning, selection, timing, implementation, and evaluation of interventions. He also focuses on the morality of intervening-which is, after all, interfering with the judgment or behavior of other persons-discussing a variety of situations,

In dealing with environmental issues we are repeatedly confronted by the paradox that the biggest obstacle to a more humane world for people is -- people. Again and again designers, planners, citizen groups, policy makers, and managers set out to solve "real" problems and end up mired in "people" problems. This book attempts to apply the skills and insights of the behavioral sciences to this dilemma. The approach is untraditional, not only in its theoretical framework, but also in its focus. The emphasis is not on the environment itself, but on how people know and experience it, for we believe that the first priority is not specific answers to specific problems, but a greater understanding of the creature we are dealing with, a larger view of what people are like.

Writing as a psychologist, the author traces the course of religious development in the normally mature and productive personality. Religious sentiments arise from needs, interests, temperament, rationality, and cultural response. The mature religious person can act whole-heartedly without absolute certainty, for religious aspiration is an intention to strive toward long-range goals whatever the present risks and difficulties. The crux of mental health rests upon one's beliefs, and the ability to integrate his conflicts around a master sentiment, that points beyond immediate and self-centered gratifications to larger relationships, more decisive action and deeper assurance in the realization of permanent values.
