EDITORIAL COMMITTEE: Eleanor E. Maccoby, Theodore M. Newcomb and Eugene L. Hartley

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.

WILLIAM GLASSER

FROM THE COVER: For a number of years, Dr. Glasser, convinced of the frequent ineffectiveness of Freudian psychoanalytic procedures, has been developing a very different therapeutic approach-Reality Therapy. The requirements of Reality Therapy—an intense personal involvement, facing reality, rejecting irresponsible behavior, and learning better ways to behave—-bear little resemblance to conventional therapy and produce markedly different results. Whether the patient thinks he is Napoleon, is running berserk, or has nervous headaches, the common cause is inability to fulfill the two essential needs: to love and be loved,

REALITY THERAPY : A NEW APPROACH TO PSYCHIATRY

by WILLIAM GLASSER. With a Foreword by O. H. MOWRER

This is an extraordinarily significant book. Readers will themselves discover that it is courageous, unconventional, and challenging. And future developments will, I predict, show that it is also scientifically and humanly sound. For more than a decade now, it has been evident that something is seriously amiss in contemporary psychiatry and clinical psychology. Under the sway of Freudian psychoanalysis, these disciplines have not validated themselves either diagnostically or therapeutically. Their practitioners, as persons, have not manifested any exceptional grasp on the virtues and strengths they purportedly help others to acquire. And the impact of their philosophy of life and conception of man in society as a whole has been subtly subversive….
