Synopsis and Historical Importance Published under the pseudonym Saul Kain a playful nod to the protagonist of John Masefield's The Everlasting Mercy The Daffodil Murderer 1913 holds immense historical importance as Siegfried Sassoon's very first commercially published trade edition. Prior to this Sassoon had only printed his verse in obscure privately circulated pamphlets. The book was conceived as a biting satirical parody of Masefield's smash-hit narrative poems which Sassoon felt were overly dramatic and full of manufactured gritty realism. The book itself mocks the literary establishment; it features a fake preface by an imaginary "William Butler" and a wry front cover blurb shouting "Brilliant Beyond Belief" for a fictional award called the "Chantrey Prize". Crucially writing this piece changed the trajectory of Sassoon's career. He later admitted in his autobiography The Weald of Youth that while burlesquing Masefield he suddenly discovered his own authentic poetic voice learning how to imbue real-world commonplace details with raw emotional warmth. Furthermore this specific piece caught the attention of Edward Marsh the influential editor of Georgian Poetry. Marsh quickly became Sassoon's literary mentor launching him into the forefront of the Edwardian and wartime poetry scenes. John Richmond Ltd paperback

Archives The Attempted Founding of the "The Journal of Experimental Psychopathology" - prospectus correspondence with prospective contributing editors and the winning competitor

1930réf. 27588various: various 1930. First Edition. Three Ring Binder. Very Good. First Edition. An archive of material which documents the attempted founding of a new journal "The Journal of Experimental Psychopathology" by American psychologist Saul Rosenzweig. The three page initial Prospectus explains the need for a journal focused on the "specialized but important domain of experimental psychopathology." A list of proposed consulting and corresponding editors and their addresses in 10 different fields is included and letters were sent out many acceptances from known names were received. Unfortunately another competing proposal was received by the National Research Council N.R.C. Committee from the Macy Foundation which was eventually accepted. A letter dated August 1 1938 communicates the bad news that Dr. Rosenzweig's proposal will be dropped. A second group of letters follows from contributing editors back to Rosenzweig expressing their condolences. Often this sort of activity happens behind the scenes - in this case we get to see both the timeline and some of the inner workings of the process. Three Ring Binder. "Saul Rosenzweig 1907–2004 was an American psychologist and therapist who studied subjects such as repression psychotherapy and aggression. Rosenzweig who with a co-author has been credited with being the first to attempt to "elicit repression" in a laboratory setting became well known after publishing a paper discussing "common factors" underlying competing approaches to psychotherapy.In the 1930s Rosenzweig studied repression. With G. Mason Rosenzweig criticized H. Meltzer's survey of studies of repression in an article published in the British Journal of Psychology. Rosenzweig and Mason argued that the studies reviewed by Meltzer worked with sensory stimuli unrelated to the theory of repression and "failed to develop under laboratory control the experiences which are subsequently to be tested for recall." Donald W. MacKinnon and William F. Dukes credit Rosenzweig and Mason with being "the first to make an explicit attempt to elicit repression under conditions of laboratory control and observation." Sigmund Freud was sent reprints of Rosenzweig's attempts to study repression but replied to Rosenzweig that while he had examined his "experimental studies for the verification of the psychoanalytic assertions with interest" he could not "put much value on these confirmations because the wealth of reliable observations on which these assertions rest make them independent of experimental verification." Rosenzweig became well known after publishing a paper discussing "common factors" underlying competing approaches to psychotherapy. He argued that all models of therapy could be equally successful due to competent therapists sharing common factors that aided their patients. His premise became known as the Dodo Bird Verdict or Dodo Bird Hypothesis — a reference to Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland 1865 in which a dodo bird declares at the end of a race designed to dry everyone off: "Everybody has won and all must have prizes." Rosenzweig's study of aggression led to the development of the Rosenzweig Picture-Frustration Study a test of latent hostility. The Rosenzweig Picture Frustration Study is usually considered a semi-projective technique and involves an examinee responding verbally to a semi-ambiguous picture scenario. Each of the three forms child adolescent and adult consists of 24 comic strip pictures that portray a situation that might induce frustration. The overall purpose of the study is to assess how the examinee responds to frustration and frustrating situations. The test assumes that the way that the examinee responds to each frustrating situation depicts how they behave in the face of frustration. The worth of this test is based on how aggression is conceptualized into three types. The first direction of aggression can be extragressive meaning that it is turned onto the environment. The second direction is intraggressive meaning that it is turned by the examinee onto the self. The final direction is imaggressive which means that it is evaded in an attempt to gloss over the frustration. In terms of reliability and validity the P-F Study interscorer reliability is in the range of .80 to .85. The test-retest reliability is fair to marginal. The test became popular in Europe and was featured in Stanley Kubrick's film A Clockwork Orange 1971. A collection of Rosenzweig's papers has been maintained in the Archives of the History of American Psychology at the University of Akron." Wikipedia. various unknown
