"Psyche" by C. K Ogden
An Annual General and Linguistic Psychology, 1920-52
Launched in 1920 by C K Ogden and others as the successor to the Cambridge Magazine , Psyche occupied a unique place for over 30 years as a journal of general and linguistic psychology. Committed from the outset to keeping readers abreast of developments in the burgeoning fields of experimental, theoretical and applied psychology, Psyche provided not only systematic reporting in these domains but set itself the task of stimulating research of high quality by the critical thrust of its editorial stance. In addition to full length articles, Psyche featured lively correspondence and discussion, a regular chronicle of research in the US and on the continent, a comprehensive survey of current literature, and regular reports from the meetings and congresses of associations and societies. I A Richards , E J Dingwall and Whately Smith were among those who added their regular contributions to editorials and features by C K Ogden.
Other contributors included Bertrand Russell (Materialism, Past and Present), F C S Schiller (Scientific Method in Psychical Research), Karin Stephen (The Misuse of Mind), Bronislaw Malinowski (The Psychology of Sex and the Foundations of Kinship in Primitive Societies), J B Watson (Behaviourism), J von Uexkull (Time, Number and Measurement), Henri Peiron (Visual Reception), F Paulhan (Our Feeling as a Form of Knowledge), A A Roback (Character and Adjustment), and Edward Sapir (The Function of an International Auxiliary Language). The development of Basic English under the impetus of Jeremy Bentham's work is fully documented in Psyche , as are all aspects of the linguistic research of Odgen's Orthological Institute. The publishing programme of Psyche was disrupted by World War II, but the long delay before the appearance of the final volume in 1952 produced a classic, ranging over the origins of archetypation, word magic, orthology, educational reform, and a unique model for intellectual historiography. |
