Morton Henry Prince (December 21, 1854 - August 31, 1929) Was An American Physician Who Specialized In Neurology And Abnormal Psychology, And Was A Leading Force In Establishing Psychology As A Clinical And Academic Discipline. He Was Part Of A Handful Of Men Who Disseminated European Ideas About Psychopathology, Especially In Understanding Dissociative Phenomenon; And Helped Found The Journal Of Abnormal Psychology In 1906, Which He Edited Until His Death. Morton Prince Came From A Wealthy Boston Family And Was Involved In The Social And Intellectual Life Of That City. He Went To Private Schools And Then To Harvard College. He Obtained His Medical Degree From Harvard Medical School In 1879. After Harvard, He Took A "Grand Tour" Of Europe, A Near Requirement For Upper-Class Americans At That Time. It Was In Paris That He Visited Jean Martin Charcot At The Salpêtrière. He Was Quite Impressed With Charcot's Theories But Returned To Boston To Set Up An Otolaryngology Practice. However, The Spell Of The Charismatic Charcot Was Strong And He Quickly Switched His Practice To Neurology, And Even Adopted Charcot'S Showmanship For Teaching His Classes. He Became A Devotee And Avid Proponent In The Use Of Suggestion In Treating Mental Illnesses In The United States And Drew Around Him All The Important Practitioners In The Burgeoning Field Of Abnormal Psychology Of That Time: Boris Sidis, James Jackson Putnam, William James, G. Stanley Hall, To Name But A Few. He Became The American Expert In Dissociative Disorders, Which He Also Called Multiple Personality Disorder. He Published Numerous Accounts Of Cases, Both In The Academic Press And The Popular Press. His Most Famous Case Was That Of Christine Beauchamp, Detailed In The Dissociation Of A Personality (1906), Which Caused Some Consternation, Due Both To The Sensational Nature Of The Cases Presented And To The Convoluted Prose Style: "There Was Over Her Spine A 'Hypnogenetic Point', Pressure Upon Which Always Caused A Thrill To Run Through Her That Weakened Her Will And Induced Hypnotic Sleep". Prince Maintained An Active Professional Life, Not Only With His Psychopathologic Studies But As Practicing Physician As Well. He Was A Prolific Writer, Publishing Some 14 Books And Numerous Essays. He Wrote Mostly On Dissociation And Abnormal Psychology But Also Applied His Understanding Of The Unconscious To The Politics Of His Day. Though His Psychological Ideas Never Took Hold, He Remained An Eminent Figure, Carl Jung For Example Contributing To His Festschrift Of 1925, Problems Of Personality: Studies Presented To Dr. Morton Prince. Prince Founded The Harvard Psychological Clinic In 1927, Only Two Years Before His Death. That Clinic Established A Major American Stronghold For Wide-Ranging Psychological Researches., Longmans, Green, And Co., 1906, 2.5, Peeters Publishers, 2005. New. The idea that the world, not only of man but also of nature, was subject to a continuous process of change has taken strong root since the beginning of the nineteenth century. In 1859, Charles Darwin demonstrated that these changes were the result of immutable, eternal laws - although everything was subject to change, it was only in accordance with these laws. from the second half of the nineteenth century down to the First World War, this vision of change and determination was interpreted in many different ways, both pessimistically and optimistically. It is striking that a fear of degeneration often went hand in hand with a belief in an upward evolutionary process and was not confined to any particular political spectrum.This volume, number XIV in the series, contains the papers presented at a workshop on the reception and interpretation of the theory of evolution, organised by the editors in April 2003. It covers the many, often irreconcilable faces, of the theory of evolution concerning not only the concrete substantive interpretation but also the many different fields of late nineteenth century thought by concentrating on cultural life in the broadest sense - political, social, scientific and artistic, both literature and the visual arts.This volume illustrates the versatility of the concept of evolution, and of degeneration as well, with the emphasis on the Netherlands. It not only presents the contradictions and many-sidedness of the post-Darwinian world, but also the continuity with the world before 1860. Moreover, it reveals one clear co-ordinating theme, namely that the theory of evolution was used as justification for many different ideologies and practices.
