Abstract

Dynamic ideas are firmly established in psychological thinking. Bettelheim and Joanowitz (1950), for instance, call their study of prejudice "Dynamics of Prejudice". Symonds (1949) calls his book "Dynamic Psychology", while Staton (1963) calls his researches "Dynamics of Adolescent Adjustment". The important theories of Freud, Jung, and Lewin are categorised as Dynamic Psychologies, and many articles and lectures stress that to understand a person is to comprehend the dynamic complexities of his inner life - the unique way in which forces are acting within him.
