Frontiers of Psychological Research selected by Stanley Coopersmith

Frontiers of Psychological Research Readings from Scientific American selected and introduced by Stanley Coopersmith University of California at Davis In the many aspects of his career, as educator, as personality theorist, researcher, and writer--as teacher, as mentor--and finally as a guide and therapist to troubled children and adolescents, Stan Coopersmith lived as well as taught the message that education and life should be a unity. During the late 1960s, when the most urgent feelings of American college students were being expressed in near violent confrontations with their university administrations, Stan was the catalyst for a unique experiment on the Davis campus. He was instrumental in organizing a large number of students to make a powerful symbolic gesture, in the form of a fast, as an expression of their antiwar concerns. Like so many other contributions that Stan made during his years at Davis, this was his way of helping young people to learn that a forceful and personal statement of such concern might be self-fulfilling yet non-violent. He used the very situation of antiwar protest, which was then dividing group from angry group, to teach the unifying value of a commitment to both personal growth and the social good. Paperback.
