  • A Brief History of Logotherapy
    Advanced Diploma in Logotherapy Module 1 Unit 1 Reading 2 READING 1.1.2 A Brief History of Logotherapy Stephen Kalmar The history of a new school of thought is, in its first phase, largely the history of its founder, following step by step as the new line of thought is developed. In its second phase, the views of the founder find acceptance and gather disciples. Then, in a third phase, the followers of the founder apply and expand these ideas to test, then deepen and modify them as they feel it necessary and justified. The flowers which grow from the original seeds may often surprise the founder. Freud, Marx, and Jesus would be astonished to see all the things that have been said, written, and done in their names. At this moment the history of Logotherapy has reached the threshold between its second and third phases, with the founder fortunately still actively participating and watching the developments of his Logotherapy, offering guidance and criticism. Viktor E. Frankl‟s writings are to a large extent autobiographical. We can see how his thoughts from the earliest beginnings have developed, both chronologically and systematically, until they became what is often referred to as the third Viennese school of psychotherapy—Sigmund Freud‟s being the first and Alfred Adler‟s the second. Frankl, with his usual sense of humor, gives us in An Autobiographical Sketch (Frank 1981a, p.144) what might be said to be the exact “birthday” of Logotherapy. One evening, he recalls, before falling asleep at the age of four, in 1909, a frightening thought struck him: “One day I, too, will die.

  • Personality Assessment in Personnel Selection
    WHITE PAPER / PAGE 1 Personality Assessment in Personnel Selection Michael G. Anderson, PhD Personality assessments can be a strong predictor of job performance and oftentimes are superior to job interviews. 1 They can also demonstrate less potential for adverse impact than cognitive abil- ity tests. 2 Therefore, it is not surprising that the use of personality assessment for personnel selec - tion is becoming increasingly popular among organizations. In fact, 75 percent of recently surveyed organizations are currently using, or have considered using, personality assessments for executive selection and development. 3 Appropriate validated personality assessments are attractive selection tools because they provide a data-based, nonsubjective method for identifying high-potential employees who will also fit well within a particular work environment. It is critically important to note that while the term personality assessment is used generically, not all personality assess - ments are suited for personnel selection. 4 Personality assessments that measure traits are appro - priate for selection purposes; measures of psychological type are not designed for, and should not be used in, selection applications. This paper will offer brief answers to questions like this that are often asked when personality assessments are used in personnel selection decisions, including • What is personality? • How is personality measured? • How is personality related to job performance? • How accurate is personality assessment in predicting job performance? • What are the advantages of using personality assessments? • How are personality assessments implemented in selection systems? WHAT IS PERSONALITY? Personality has been defined by N. Brody and H. Ehrlichman as “those thoughts, feelings, desires, intentions, and action tendencies that contribute to important aspects of individuality.” 5 Think of some people you know well.

  • Masters of Science in Applied Psychology (MAP)
    Proposed Master’s in Applied Psychology (MAP) November 4, 2019 1 Masters of Science in Applied Psychology (MAP) Department of Applied Psychology Counseling Psychology Bouvé College of Health Sciences Proposed Master’s in Applied Psychology (MAP) November 4, 2019 2 I. Purpose of the 30 Credit MAP, Counseling Psychology A one-year 30 credit Masters of Science in Applied Psychology (MAP) is proposed with the purpose of providing evidence-based knowledge and counseling skills to students at the Post- Baccalaureate level who are interested in pursuing a PhD in Counseling Psychology or who seek to further develop competencies in critical areas of applied psychology. This one year MAP emphasizes counseling theory, intervention, research and statistics, career and vocational counseling, developmental approaches throughout the life span, family systems, risk and resilient factors, adverse events during childhood, clinical skills, multicultural competencies across differences, diagnosis and treatment of substance use and mental illness, as well as treatment modalities for individuals, groups, and family. Designed to provide graduates with training for achieving better functional outcomes in their work with persons who contend with behavioral health disorders, the MAP is not duplicative of existing degree programs in the Department of Applied Psychology and does not replace the existing 60-credits Master of Science in Counseling Psychology (MSCP). On July 1, 2017, the Massachusetts Board of Allied Mental Health, which is the regulatory body for licensed mental health counselors in the Commonwealth, decreed that the 30 credit Certificate of Advanced Graduate Studies (CAGS) was no longer a pathway to counseling licensure. Historically, the 30- credits CAGS at Northeastern was used to supplement previously obtained Master’s degrees that did not meet the required 60-credits threshold for counseling licensure.

  • •History of Psychology
    ------•History of Psychology ALFRED H. FUCHS, EDITOR Bowdoin College LUDWIG REINHOLD GEISSLER AND THE FOUNDING OF THE JOURNAL OF APPLIED PSYCHOLOGY Roger K. Thomas University of Georgia A significant number of earlier (1929-1987) and more recent (1991-2009) history of psychol­ ogy textbooks have reported on the 1917 founding of the Journal of Applied Psychology (lAP). Although only G. Stanley Hall (1844-1924) was mentioned as the founder, the lAP had three financial founders: Hall, John Wallace Baird (1869-1919), and Ludwig Reinhold Geissler (1879- 1932). They also served as co-editors for Volumes 1 and 2, and Hall and Geissler continued as co-editors for Volumes 3 and 4. Geissler's contributions to Volumes 1-4 far exceeded Hall's and Baird's. In unpublished autobiographical notes written in 1920, Geissler described himself as having "founded" and "established" the JAPwith Hall's and Baird's aid; the evidence is consis­ tent with that claim. The first issue of the Journal ofApplied Psychology (JAP) was dated March 1917. According to S. W. J. Kowalski, current editor of the JAP, it continues to be a highly successful journal. JAP's impact is growing and is among the very highest amongjournals publish­ ing empirical work within organizational behavior, human resources manage­ ment, and industrial & organizational psychology. It is the largest journal in terms of number of published articles (138 in 2007), citations (9918 in 2006) and pages (18oo). (S. W.J. Kowalski, personal communication, May 16, 2008) In the first issue of the JAP, the editors were identified as G. Stanley Hall, John Wallace Baird, and L.

  • THE VALUE of PERSONNEL ASSESSMENT Jay T
    THE VALUE OF PERSONNEL ASSESSMENT Jay T. McNamara, Ph.D., L.P. Gary L. Fischler Ph.D., ABPP, L.P. Hiring, retaining, promoting, and developing the best people creates a foundation on which all successful companies rely. To effectively place the right people in the right jobs, organizations need comprehensive, accurate, reliable methods to understand and evaluate job applicants. Personnel research coincides with conventional wisdom in demonstrating that job effectiveness depends on several factors, including knowledge, skills and abilities, effort, organizational fit, and personality. These dimensions must be measured as thoroughly and precisely as possible before hiring decisions are made to maximize organizational productivity. Indeed, in a recent survey, over half of 180 organizations reported that they used psychological assessments for executive selection or development (Institute for Corporate Productivity, 2007). Structured interviews, cognitive or mental ability tests, objective personality tests, and work simulation exercises all demonstrate moderately strong validity for predicting job success. Our Personnel Assessments use a complex battery of objective tools to provide a thorough and dependable method for obtaining accurate information about the work-related characteristics of current and prospective employees. This paper will discuss the reliability, validity, and usefulness of several personnel selection methods that form the basis of Personnel Assessments. Structured Interviews: The most frequently used personnel selection tool is the unstructured job interview. Studied for over 80 years, unstructured job interviews have historically shown relatively low reliability and modest validity in predicting effectiveness on the job (e.g., Huffcutt & Arthur, 1994). In an unstructured interview, hiring managers or human resources professionals use a casual, get-acquainted approach when interacting with candidates.
