This book is an attempt to present the main types of psychological treatment in clear, brief, and simple language. Psychotherapeutic theories and techniques included are those which rely primarily on verbal interchanges between an adult or older adolescent patient (or client) and the agent of treatment (variously called a counselor, therapist, psychiatrist, psychoanalyst, or psychologist). Therapies excluded from our consideration are the physiologically oriented (drugs, shock, surgery, etc.) and the adjunctive and non-verbal methods (such as dance, art, occupational, and play therapies).

Editors Theodore M. Newcomb and Eugene L. Hartley,

FOREWORD: SINCE its formation in 1936, the Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues has undertaken many projects. It has published three yearbooks, in which it has attempted to assemble the best available psychological research and thought concerning the problems of industrial conflict, of civilian morale, and of enduring peace. It publishes the quarterly Journal of Social Issues, each issue of which is devoted to the presentation and interpretation of research findings in some special area of human relations. It has subsidized cooperative research among university centers in this country. It is cooperating in efforts to organize social scientists throughout the world who see much to be gained by pooling their efforts to solve common human problems. It has issued public releases from time to time concerning issues which it believes can be illuminated by psychological understanding.

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.

FROM FOREWORD: This reader is the second of tivo recent collections of articles about moral education. The first is Purpel and Ryan's Moral Education (1976), an expansion of a set of articles written for a special reader is compiled for those actually involved in educational practice in the schools. Unlike the Purpel and Ryan book, which is designed to provide an introduction to three different approaches to moral education (the values-clarification approach, the cognitive [or rational decision-making] approach and the cognitive-developmental approach), the present book focuses on a single approach- the cognitive-developmental. (Fenton, 1976). Also valuable and unavailable elsewhere are the articles by Scharf, Hersh, Paolitto, and Selman from a special issue of Contemporary Education (Grimley, 1976).

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,

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….

INTRODUCTION: THE ESSENCE OF EFFECTIVENESS in psychotherapy lies in the proper matching of the patient's problems and personality with the treatment procedures suitable for correction. No craftsman can expect success in his work if he does not understand the potentials and limitations of the materials he employs.
