A book that pro- vided so many insights into the most complicated aspects of human behavior that you literally could not put it down? That book for me wasPhysical Disability, A Psychological Approach by Beatrice Wright; for you it may be its “sequel” The Social Psychology of Disability by Dana Dunn. What is the story? It was the early 1970s and I had just completed my undergradu- ate degree in psychology at the Ohio State University. I knew I wanted to pursue a doctorate in psychology but did not know much beyond this. I had the good for- tune to be hired as a vocational rehabilitation counselor for the State of Ohio. My career began with interviewing clients, developing insight into how they saw their situation, and then realizing the many contradictions they faced. For example, they defined themselves by what they could do; however, they found that others in their environment seemed to define them by what they could not do. I was bewildered by the mixed social messages they were constantly bombarded with, messages that ranged from pity to being idolized. How could I help them navigate this confusing social environment, when I did not have a clue about what was happening? I found the complexity of this social interactional landscape incredibly intriguing from an intellectual and a professional standpoint. I was hungry for knowledge but found nothing in the general psychological literature that was relevant. Then I discovered “the” classic book on the psychology of disability. This book sealed my fate. I then knew I wanted to become a rehabilitation psychologist. Parenthetically, I was not ix x Foreword alone in an “aha” moment engendered by reading Dr. Wright’s book. Years ago, I was in a reflective conversation with Mitchell Rosenthal, Ph.D., a close friend and leader in the field of brain injury rehabilitation. I asked what sparked his interest in rehabilitation psychology. His reply was simple: “Beatrice Wright’s book.” Similarly, in the preface to this book, Dr. Dunn reflects on the profound effect Dr. Wright’s book has had on how he thinks about behavior. So, what is so compelling about this text? The answer is the author, quality writ- ing, and the content. Dr. Dana Dunn is a respected and recognized educator and writer. He completed his Ph.D. in social psychology at the University of Virginia in 1987. He is a fellow of three divisions of the American Psychological Association including General Psychology, Society for the Teaching of Psychology, and Rehabilitation Psychology. Recently, he was awarded the Charles L. Brewer Award for Distinguished Teaching, American Psychological Foundation in 2013. He has authored 25 books, 51 referred papers, and 52 book chapters. He has been an editor or on the editorial board of 6 journals and a reviewer for 12 journals. He received the Outstanding Academic Book by the American Library Association in 2005 for his book Measuring Up: Educational Assessment Challenges and Practices for Psychology. In short, he knows how to write clearly and succinctly. What about the content? The book is written in a manner that pulls the reader in. Each chapter has a similar structure. Dr. Dunn begins with thought-provoking quotes and compelling examples. He then poses questions to the reader and pro- ceeds to answer the questions in the body of the chapter using clear and concise prose. For example, he asks, “What does it mean to adapt to a disability? Do indi- viduals who have congenital disabilities need to adapt to their conditions? Or, is adaptation limited to those who somehow acquire a disability? Does psychosocial adjustment differ from adaptation? What does it mean to accept a disability?” He then goes on to cite the historic and contemporary research that addresses these questions. Each chapter ends with questions that prompt the reader to revisit the key ideas presented, thus helping to solidify learning. Dr. Dunn’s skills in sound pedagogy are consistently apparent. The content ofThe Social Psychology of Disability is comprehensive. Topics include coping with disability, positive psychology and disability, stigma and stereotyping, spread effects, attitudes towards persons with a disability, the fundamental nega- tive bias, somatopsychology, and disability identity to name a few. Throughout, Dr. Dunn highlights the seminal contributions of the founders of the field of rehabilita- tion psychology especially the work of Kurt Lewin, Beatrice Wright, and Tamara Dembo. He emphasizes Lewin’s formulation of field theory and the critical point that behavior does not reside in the person but is the joint outcome of the interac- tion of person’s characteristics in the context of the environment. Foreword xi As a rehabilitation psychologist, I was particularly heartened that Dr. Dunn specifically writes about the 20 “value-laden beliefs and principles.” He discusses the first five principles in Chapter 1 and an additional seven principles in Chapter 6. These principles, which were first articulated by Beatrice Wright in 1972, are not widely known or understood by most rehabilitation psychologists. Yet, they rep- resent the central principles from which the field of rehabilitation psychology can rightly claim its unique identity as a specialty within the larger discipline of psychol- ogy. Highlighting these principles is just one more example of why this book will become standard reading in the field of rehabilitation psychology in the coming years. In closing, I wish to publicly thank Dr. Dunn for writing this book. Rehabilitation psychology was desperately in need of a reboot and summary of our field. Dr. Wright’s second edition of her book was published in 1983. Much has happened in the fields of rehabilitation psychology and social psychology over the past 30 years. Dr. Dunn does an outstanding job melding the contemporary insights of both fields in a book that will inspire the next generation of rehabilitation psychologists. I am hopeful that you will be enlightened and challenged by the issues raised in the book and their relevance to a world in which disability and chronic illness are increas- ingly prevalent. You are about to read what will become the new, classic text on the psychological aspects of disability. I am hopeful that you too will have an “aha” experience after reading this seminal contribution to the rehabilitation psychology literature. Daniel E. Rohe, Ph.D., ABPP (Rp) Mayo Clinic, Rochester Minnesota Past President, Division of Rehabilitation Psychology American Psychological Association Past President, American Board of Rehabilitation Psychology Preface and Acknowledgments Several years ago, Beatrice Wright and I were discussing a project that was to involve her classic book, Physical Disability: A Psychosocial Approach (Wright, 1983). More than any other text I’ve read as a psychologist, this book has had a profound influence on how I think about behavior, including, of course, the social psychology of disability. At one point in our conversation, Beatrice, who is known to have strong and decided opinions, said simply, “Dana, you should write your own book.” That particular project did not advance, but I never forgot her com- ment, which, if you know Beatrice, represented both an encouragement and a gentle demand.

    Perspectives in Cultural-Historical Research 2 Еkaterina Zavershneva René van der Veer Editors Vygotsky’s Notebooks A Selection Perspectives in Cultural-Historical Research Volume 2 Series editors Marilyn Fleer, Peninsula Campus, Monash University, Frankston, Victoria, Australia Fernando González Rey, Department of Psychology, University of Brasilia, Brasília -DF, Brazil Elena Kravtsova, Russian State University for the Humanities, Moscow, Russia Nikolai Veresov, Faculty of Education, Monash University, Frankston, Australia There is growing interest in the work of LS Vygotsky internationally, but also in finding new ways and perspectives for advancing cultural-historical theory for solving contemporary problems. Although Vygotsky has become one of the most influential scholars in education and psychology today, there is still a need for serious studies of his work because so much remains unexamined. The books in this series draw on the collected works of Vygotsky as a primary source of authority. They go beyond secondary sources and discuss Vygotsky’s original ideas in the context of a system of concepts or through the elaboration and theorisation of research findings so that contemporary problems can be addressed in new ways. This series collectively brings together under one umbrella a more equal representation of works from scholars across both the Northern and Southern continents. In the context of a large volume of contributions to cultural-historical theorisation and the empirical work from North America, there is an urgent need for

  • The First Generation of Japanese Women Psychologists
    genealogy Article The First Generation of Japanese Women Psychologists Miki Takasuna School of Social and Human Sciences, Tokyo International University, Kawagoe 305-1198, Japan; [email protected] Received: 14 April 2020; Accepted: 17 May 2020; Published: 21 May 2020 Abstract: The purpose of this study was to characterize the first Japanese women psychologists, pre-WWII, as identified by their published work in psychological journals and by their conference presentations at meetings of the Japanese Psychological Association. From my archival survey, I collected data on the education levels, degrees, marital status, and careers of eight women. Three earned PhDs from US universities; five earned BAs from national public universities. All eight psychologists found teaching jobs at colleges. As the centenary of the JPA draws near, this work calls attention for the need to integrate women into the pre-WWII history of psychology when the school system and matriculation prerequisites for women differed from men. Keywords: women psychologists before WWII; first generation of women psychologists; integration form; history of psychology in Japan 1. Introduction The modernization of the Japanese social system came about rapidly in the late 1860s when the new Meiji government endeavored to import various knowledge and techniques from Western countries. In 1877, the Ministry of Education (established in 1871) approved Tokyo University as the first national university in Japan. Even then, from the beginning of a student’s college education, psychology was taught as a subject, though the first psychology laboratory was not founded until 1903 at Tokyo Imperial University1. By 1927, just 50 years after the founding of Tokyo University, the Japanese Psychological Association (JPA) was established as the first Japanese society for psychology.

  • Zur Diskussion Der Experimente Von Tamara Dembo Rene Van Der Veer & Helmut E
    Berliner Gestaltpsychologie in Aktion: Zur Diskussion der Experimente von Tamara Dembo Rene van der Veer & Helmut E. Lück Zusammenfassung: In diesem Beitrag werden Hintergründe zu dem nachstehend abgedruckten „ Vortrag von Fräulein Dembo über ihre Ver- suche, mit anschließenden Fragen" behandelt. Zunächst wird die Mitschrift des Vortrags beschrieben, dann wird kurz auf die Biographie von Dembo eingegangen, insbesondere wird die Teilnehmerschaft der Diskussion beschrieben, zu der Psychologen wie Wertheimer, Lewin, und einige beteiligte Versuchspersonen, darunter Gottschaldt, Lipmann und von Allesch, gehörten. Umgangsformen im Berliner Institut Mitte der zwanziger Jahre sind erkennbar. Besondere Beachtung findet der Sachverhalt, dass Dembo über drei Versuchsreihen referiert, von denen nur zwei Aufnahme in ihre Dissertation fanden. Die dritte, in der die Vpn keinerlei Instruktion erhielten, ist jedoch unter methodologischen und wissenschaftsgeschichtlichen Gesichtspunkten von Interesse, da sie Fragen zur Sozialpsychologie des psychologischen Experiments vorweg- nimmt. Abstract: In this contribution we give the background of the "Vortrag von Fräulein Dembo über ihre Versuche, mit anschließenden Fragen" published below. First, the protocol of the meeting is discussed and a concise biography of Dembo is given. Subsequently, the participants in the discussion, among whom many served as experimental subjects (e.g. Gottschaldt, Lipmann, and von Allesch) and others supervised the inves- tigation (Wertheimer, Lewin) are introduced. From the minutes of the meeting the way students and staff interacted at the Berlin Institute in the 1920s becomes apparent. Special attention is paid to the fact that Dembo referred to three experiments of which only two were included in her dissertation. However, with hindsight, this third experiment, in which subjects received no instruction at all, was especially interesting from the viewpoint of experimental methodology and from the viewpoint of the history of science.

  • Some Problems in Rehabilitation As Seen by a Lewinian
    Journal of Social Issues, Vol. 38, No. I, 1982, pp. 131-139 Some Problems in Rehabilitation as Seen by a Lewinian Tamara Dembo Clark University I will talk about matters rooted in Kurt Lewin’s early work with his students up to the time of his interest in small group research. During the ~O’S,I was his student in Germany, and took my Ph.D. with him. My thesis dealt with anger in frustration situations. Later, I was Lewin’s assistant during his stay at Cornell and at the University of Iowa, until he arranged to move to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Ten days before he died, we were discussing psychological matters in Washington. I am a Lewinian in my psychological thinking, emphasizing the structural characteristics of psychological occurrences. When Lewin once asked me, “DO you believe that topological properties actually exist in life?”, I simply said “Yes.” I felt then, as now, that much in life is spatial and structural. Working with Lewin was a cooperative effort. In solving problems, the emphasis was on work rather than on individual performers. This was characteristic of Lewin’s “Quase1strippe”-the weekly meeting with his graduate students that began in Berlin. It characterized his daily-and daylong-meetings with his thesis students, as well as the frequent meetings of Fritz and Grace Heider, Eugenia Hanfmann, Lewin, and myself, in Massachusetts during Lewin’s first years of residence in the United States. The Quaselstrippe meetings continued in the States and by then comprised a sizeable group of people interested in Topological Psychology.

  • A History of Cultural-Historical Gestalt Psychology: Vygotsky, Luria, Koffka, Lewin, and Others1
    ISSN 2076-7099 Психологический журнал Международного университета природы, общества и человека «Дубна» № 1, с. 98-101, 2012 Dubna Psychological Journal www.psyanima.ru A History of Cultural-Historical Gestalt Psychology: Vygotsky, Luria, Koffka, Lewin, and others1 A. Yasnitsky The interrelations between Soviet psychologists of ―Vygotsky Circle‖ (Yasnitsky, 2009, 2011) and German-American Gestalt psychologists and similarities of their theories were noted in a few studies (e.g., Chaiklin, 2011; e.g., Scheerer, 1980), but systematic investigation of the history and the substance of these connections have never been done. This study addresses this gap in scholarship and attempts to investigate the huge network of Soviet, German, and American scholars that is described here under the umbrella term ―Cultural-Historical Gestalt-Psychology‖ (Yasnitsky, 2012a). This study is based on the analysis of the archival documents found in the archives of Kurt Lewin, Kurt Koffka, Molly Harrower, and Fritz Heider (all in the Archives of the History of American Psychology, University of Akron, AHAP), Tamara Dembo (Clark University archives); and documents previously published in a number of scholarly works and memoirs (Harrower, 1983; King & Wertheimer, 2005; Lück, 2001; E. A. Luria, 1994; Marrow, 1969; Métraux, 2002; Rückriem, 2008; Vygodskaya & Lifanova, 1996; Vygotsky & Puzyrei, 2004, 2007). The paper leads its reader through several episodes that characterise the stages in the development of the interrelationships between the Soviet and the Western scholars and their gradual convergence on a number of theoretical and methodological issues. The key events and processes of the history of the ―beautiful friendship‖ are organized chronologically: 1925: European trips of Vygotsky and Luria, made independently and on different occasions, in summer 1925.

Bentley Susanne M. Bruyère Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine Cornell University Jeanne LeBlanc Malcolm MacLachlan Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Trinity College and Stellenbosch University Purpose/Objective: This article reviewed foundational principles in rehabilitation psychology and explored their application to global health imperatives as outlined in the World Report on Disability (World Health Organization & World Bank, 2011). Research Method/Design: Historical theories and perspectives are used to assist with conceptual formulation as applied to emerging international reha- bilitation psychology topics. Results: According to the World Report on Disability (World Health Organization & World Bank, 2011), there are approximately 1 billion individuals living with some form of disability globally. An estimated 80% of persons with disabilities live in low- to middle-income countries (WHO, 2006). The primary messages and recommendations of the World Report on Disability have been previously summarized as it relates to potential opportunities for contribution within the field of rehabilitation psychology (MacLachlan & Mannan, 2014). Yet, undeniable barriers remain to realizing the full potential for contributions in low- to middle-income country
