Finding the talented, encouraging their advancement, making known their potentialities"--to these aims many of the twentieth century's most distinguished psychologists have turned their attention. In this book, Terman, Paterson, Burt, Strong, Guilford, Wolfie, Stalnaker, MacKinnon, Ghiselli, Mackworth, and Vernon, each with his own particular emphasis, discuss these issues as lecturers in a series set up by their colleague, Walter Van Dyke Bingham. In sum, they present a cross section of psychological thought at mid-century, each man writing about the set of problems on which his interest has centered.

Assuming that the concept of intelligence is essential to the study of talent, they give their attention to other variables--health, physical energy and work habits, maturation, education, parental advantage, and the like. Terman, for example, discusses the personality traits that make for success, while Strong describes his and others' efforts to measure vocational interests. Burt looks at the inheritance of emotional and temperamental qualities that affect the way one works and the amount one achieves. MacKinnon, Chiselli, and Mackworth concentrate on important kinds of ability that are not well measured by any of the available tests of "intelligence."

Today, these pioneering scholars stand high on the list of those who have advanced the discovery and development of talent. Many of these articles are already classics, and their publication in one volume will provide a ready reference and an important impetus to further work in their area of interest. These eleven lectures, provided for by the late Walter Van Dyke Bingham and presented at a different university each year, were delivered between 1956 and 1965.

Looking at the uses and abuses of high-talent manpower in the United States, Dael Wolfle analyzes the ways in which this country produces, distributes, and utilizes its vital human resources. He examines changing trends in academic and professional supply and demand, and advocates long range administrative planning in order to avoid overspecialization and wasteful use of the professional labor force. To this discussion Dr. Wolfle brings twenty-five years' experience as a psychologist and student of the changing needs for and uses of high talent manpower. Basing his analysis on data from the disciplines of sociology, education, psychology, economics, and management he offers his cautionary conclusions to stimulate thought and provoke action. Originally published in 1971. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Die Idee, ja der Wunsch oder die Hoffnung, im geschutzten therapeutischen Setting das nachholen oder ersetzen zu konnen, was in der Entwicklung des Einzelnen zu "kurz gekommen" scheint, die Idee des therapeutischen Nachnahrens also, ist so alt wie die Psychotherapie selbst. Kann Musiktherapie nachnahren? Kann sie fruhere Mangel beim Patienten ausgleichen? Und wenn ja, welche? Und wodurch? Und was muss der Patient dafur einbringen? Oder wie muss er sein, um diese "Nahrung" aufnehmen und verwerten zu konnen? Muss er "einfach schlucken"?Welches therapeutische Selbstverstandnis steckt hinter der Idee des Nachnahrens? Basiert es nur auf jener gefahrlichen Mischung von Idealisierung und Omnipotenzgefuhlen oder tatsachlich auf klinischer Erfahrung? Daher ist nicht zuletzt die Frage wichtig, wie viel Bescheidenheit wir als Therapeuten brauchen, um mit diesem Konzept forderlich statt schadigend umgehen zu konnen? Die Beitrage dieses Buchs, Vortrage im Rahmen der 10. Musiktherapie-Tagung, fuhren an dieses in Fachkreisen kontrovers diskutierte Thema heran und geben einen lebendigen und theoretisch fundierten Einblick in die Wirksamkeit der musiktherapeutischen Beziehung. Die Autoren verdeutlichen Moglichkeiten und Gefahren intensiver Beziehungsarbeit in der Therapie und verweisen auch auf historische Annahmen und Irrtumer in der psychotherapeutischen Theoriebildung.
