Abstract
|
The college mental hygienist, through his courses of instruction, ought to forestall the unfavorable, or even disastrous effects of excessive self-depreciation of college men and women. At least, the instructor may make evident to the students the subsequent antagonisms, breaking of discipline, and day-dreaming that obviously have their source in college. The knowledge of these trends of the mind would act as a preventative. Likewise the hygienist, through a perusal of the life histories submitted by his students, can locate and aid those individuals whose loss of achievement-recognition is carrying them into pathological compensations.
