Psychoanalytic Study of Society V. 19

Critical appreciations of George A. De Vos a pioneer in the cross-cultural application of projective techniques (M. Suarez-Orozco P. Lerner) and De Vos's own reminiscences are followed by contributions true to the spirit of De Vos's methodology. They include a demonstration of the usefulness of projective tests in the psychodiagnostic evaluation of schizophrenia (J. Stone P. Wilson & B. Boyer); an examination of the role of historical events in the development of Chinese and Japanese personality characteristics (J. Connor); a review of the impact of Freudian and Jungian thought in India (S. Kakar); and a study of loss and grief in a community of the North American Great Plains (H. Stein).
