Klaus Holzkamp played a central role in the establishment of Critical Psychology, and this special edition of Theory & Psychology honors his contributions even as it documents the development of his ideas. In this preface we briefly sketch the emergence of German Critical Psychology and introduce the contributors to this special issue.

Many others are probably quite skeptical of any and all attempts directed explicitly toward ameliorating this state of affairs. Perhaps there are those who will view the pursuit of unification by several contributors to this volume as offensive to their scholarly sensibilities. Nevertheless, the plurality of domains of psychological inquiry and the confinement of its practitioners should be an embarrassment to those who adhere, as various of our contributors do, to the ideal of a unity of science. For those who acknowledge the "theory-Iadenness" of facts, fragmentation is not so much an embarrassment as it is a dilemma, the horns of which are skepticism or a retreat into commitment. The latter is evident in the various schools of psychology, whereas the former is most often cloaked as conventionalism. The quest for unification withi...

In the Caribbean Sea lie Aruba, Bonaire, and Curacao, three little islands bathed in the tropical sun, filled with the sounds and smells whispering of long lost ties to other continents. In this milieu a Creole language, Papiamentu, was born to become the mother tongue of those who called the islands home. To the world outside these islands, Creoles are deemed conservative systems of communication used by minuscule populations; however, through the senses and expressions, and especially the writings of Antillean authors, one quickly learns that Papiamentu and its literature has virtually the same features that are found in other languages and literatures. These authors live Papiamentu as their natural and legitimate form of expression wherein to make present the distinctive Afro-Carib...

We evaluated the utility of performing AC2 testing for GC on specimens submitted for GC culture or CT TMA. Methods: From March to August 2008, a total of 81,405 samples from men and women attending doctors' offices, in Ontario, were inoculated onto modified Thayer-Martin medium and a second sample collected for TMA was tested for GC RNA by AC2 [Gen-Probe] by direct tube sampling [DTS 1600] or on the TIGRIS instrument [group A]. A second group of swabs [n = 14,667] which had no GC culture ordered but were submitted for CT testing in AC2 were tested for GC RNA [group B]. A proportion of AC2-GC positive samples with sufficient volume [n = 66] were retrieved and retested by AGC [confirmatory testing]. Results: The GC prevalence rate by culture was 0.2% [6.0% men/ 0.09% women]. Ninety-nine percent of the samples were from women. The AC2 test for GC in group A detected all culture positives and 67 additional positives from the culture-negative group, increasing the prevalence rate to 0.25. Seventy-five AC2-GC positives were found in group B. Confirmatory testing of representative samples from Groups A and B with AGC found 97% [64/66] positive. Conclusion: Sixty-seven extra cases of N. gonorrhoeae infections were diagnosed by AC2 testing samples submitted for culture. GC positives were also found in 75 (0.5%) of samples submitted for AC2 CT testing without an order for GC. Ninety-seven percent of samples retested by an AGC test confirmed positive. AC2 testing enabled identification and treatment of 142 cases of gonorrhea which would have been reported negative or would not have been investigated.

First, a sense of crisis that is endemic to the discipline, one that adheres to the founding of psychology as a unified, or autonomous, discipline. Perhaps this sense of perpetual crisis was already evident in Wilhelm Wundt's careful distinction between the applicability of experimental and descriptive methods to the domains of their respective phenomena. If at times Wundt understood this distinction in terms of the empirical limits of experimentation, at other times he clearly understood the distinction as one that reflected the differences between psychology conceived of as a natural or human science.

At 50 days of age, all animals were administered a battery of tests consisting of 19 measures of emotionality. Factor scores were computed for all animals on six factors of emotionality previously obtained. At 58 days of age, all animals were dissected and pituitary, adrenal, spleen, and gonad weight recorded. Analysis of variance on the factor scores indicated strain differences on all six factors and rearing differences on four factors: Autonomic Balance, Motor Discharge, Tunneling I, and Tunneling II. Analysis of variance on organ weight measures indicated strain, sex, and rearing effects. Correlations between factors and adrenal, pituitary, and spleen weight were found for both sexes. These results, which are consistent with previous findings, suggest that light rearing affects maturation of the hypothalamicpituitary-adrenal axis and, hence, emotionality.
