  • QUESTIONS ABOUT the BODY in the LIBRARY Part 2
    QUESTIONS ABOUT THE BODY IN THE LIBRARY Part 2 This book is a “whodunit.” The author offers clues, and we try to figure out who did it. This particular whodunit is about a young woman found dead in Colonel Bantry’s library. There are many twists and turns to the plot. The questions below hardly cover the story, but they are a start. They cover chapters 8 to 17 (pages 90 to 207). Chapter 8 1. Who is Sir Henry Clithering? Why does Conway Jefferson want his help? 2. Who does Sir Henry recommend as sleuth? 3. Why does Miss Marple believe Conway Jefferson is interested in Ruby Keene? What does Miss Marple believe Conway’s son-in-law and daughter-in-law will soon want to do? 4. Sir Henry wonders why anyone would want to strangle Ruby and leave her in the Bantry’s library OR take her there and strangle her. Why does Miss Marple believe this was done? Chapter 9 5. Why don’t Mark Gaskell and Adelaide Jefferson believe they have a right to object to Conway’s giving Ruby all that money? Do they like Ruby? 6. What is their opinion of Josephine Turner, whom they call Josie? 7. Who is Hugo McLean? Who is William Dobbin? 8. Does Miss Marple like Mark? Does she trust him? 9. What souvenir does young Peter Carmody keep in a matchbox? Do you believe it is important to the investigation? Why? 10. Who does Miss Marple believe the body in the burned-out car is? Does she believe Ruby’s murder and this other death are connected? Chapter 10 11.

  • The Miss Marple Model of Psychological Assessment
    THE MISS MARPLE MODEL OF PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT Carolyn Allen Zeiger ABSTRACT The Agatha Christie detective, Miss Jane Marple, is used as a model for a particular method of doing psychological assessment. The paper demonstrates how this seemingly loose, intuitive, and informal approach is supported by a formal conceptual system. The underlying structure is delineated using concepts and tools from Descriptive Psychology. The model is articulated in terms of its procedural and conceptual features, as well as personal characteristics of the person using it. My husband and I are not television watchers, but one snowy night a couple of years ago, we were stuck at home and turned on the BBC Mystery Series. Thereupon we discovered Miss Marple, Agatha Christie's octogenarian, amateur sleuth, who just happens to show up at the right places and solve murder mysteries. Although we enjoyed all the BBC mysteries, Miss Marple was different. In her cases, I figured Advances in Descriptive Psycholoey, Volume 6, pages 159·183.

The other experience I had with Miss Marple was a strong sense of identification with her. I felt a little foolish about it, but none the less I thought, "I work just like Miss Marple, which is why she makes sense to me!" I had been worrying about not being able to articulate the way I do psychotherapy.
