A Guidance Program for North Texas State University Undergraduate Students Preparing for a Career in Medical Illustration

There are seven schools in the United States and Canada that offer a training program for students qualified in art and the biological sciences to meet the visual communication requirements in medical education and research. A survey of each of these schools in relation to the medical illustration curriculum of North Texas State University will give a broader picture of the educational requirements, nature of work, qualifications of the candidate, and the outlines of the curricula in this field. From this survey a guidance program will be determined to prepare toe undergraduate student for admission to medical school.

Changes in Self Concept Associated with Exposure to Theories of Personality

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effects of classroom lectures regarding personality theory on the incongruencies of one's self concept.

Relationship of the Content of Dreams to Personal Conflicts (open access)

Relationship of the Content of Dreams to Personal Conflicts

This study will endeavor to substantiate the theory that dreaming serves the function of trying to handle conflicts met by the individual during waking life, but not resolved at the time. In order to do this, several hypotheses will be advanced concerning the different observable content of dreams of two different populations. A relationship will be drawn between this difference in content and the known difference in the types of conflicts common to each of the populations.
