Ruling Minds
Author: Erik Linstrum
Publisher: Harvard University Press
ISBN: 0674915305
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
At its zenith in the early twentieth century, the British Empire ruled nearly one-quarter of the world’s inhabitants. As they worked to exercise power in diverse and distant cultures, British authorities relied to a surprising degree on the science of mind. Ruling Minds explores how psychology opened up new possibilities for governing the empire. From the mental testing of workers and soldiers to the use of psychoanalysis in development plans and counterinsurgency strategy, psychology provided tools for measuring and managing the minds of imperial subjects. But it also led to unintended consequences. Following researchers, missionaries, and officials to the far corners of the globe, Erik Linstrum examines how they used intelligence tests, laboratory studies, and even dream analysis to chart abilities and emotions. Psychology seemed to offer portable and standardized forms of knowledge that could be applied to people everywhere. Yet it also unsettled basic assumptions of imperial rule. Some experiments undercut the racial hierarchies that propped up British dominance. Others failed to realize the orderly transformation of colonized societies that experts promised and officials hoped for. Challenging our assumptions about scientific knowledge and empire, Linstrum shows that psychology did more to expose the limits of imperial authority than to strengthen it.

The Occult Nineteenth Century
Author: Lukas Pokorny
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030553183
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 442
Book Description
The nineteenth century witnessed a proliferation of alternative religious currents and practices, appropriating earlier traditions, entangling geographically distinct spiritual discourses, and crafting a repository of mindscapes eminently suitable to be accommodated by later generations of thinkers and practitioners. Penned by specialists in the field, this volume examines important themes and figures pertaining to this occult amalgam and its resonance into the twentieth century and beyond. Global guises of the occult, ranging from the Americas and Europe to India, are variously addressed, with special attention to the crucial role of mesmerism and the origins of modern yoga.

Book Description
Excerpt from Condensed Guide for the Stanford Revision of the Binet-Simon Intelligence Tests The Binet-Simon tests had been in use in America for only a few years when their educational value for the blind was recognized by Mr. R. B. Irwin, then Supervisor of the Department for the Blind in the Cleveland public schools. In the summer of 1914 he visited Dr. H. H. Goddard at Vineland, N. J., to discuss the question of adapting them for use with pupils without vision. Taking Goddard's translation of the 1911 edition of the Binet scale as a basis, they struck out those tests which could not be given without the aid of vision, made additions from various sources, and arranged the whole collection of tests in year groups according to Irwin's judgment of the abilities of blind children. In collaboration with Dr. Goddard, Dr. E. A. Doll and Miss Elisabeth S. Kite of Vineland, Irwin was able, during the succeeding year, to have these tests tried out in various homes for blind babies, in residential schools for the blind, and in classes for the blind and the partially-seeing in the public schools. In 1915, Irwin arranged to have Dr. T. H. Haines test the pupils of the Ohio State School for the Blind, and in 1916, Haines published a report upon his use of the year scale and presented a revision of the Yerkes Point Scale adapted to the blind. During the same period, Dr. W. B. Drummond was testing pupils in various schools for the blind in England and Scotland, and in 1920 he published a Binet Scale for the Blind and a Provisional Point Scale for the Blind, building upon the work of Irwin and Haines. Systematic routine testing with Irwin's adaptation had also been started in 1916 by Miss Edith M. Taylor at Perkins Institution for the Blind in Watertown, Massachusetts, and by Miss Katherine Roese at the Pennsylvania Institution for the Instruction of the Blind in Overbrook, Philadelphia. During the next few years all the pupils in eight other residential schools were tested, so that by the end of 1922 the Irwin adaptation had been given to more than 1,600 subjects with defective vision. The data thus accumulated seemed to justify an attempt to standardize the tests and to distribute a Guide for the use of competent persons in schools and clinics, where it might be necessary to examine children who had not vision enough to take the Binet tests in their ordinary form.
