Popular Psychology: A Content Analysis of Contemporary Inspirational Nonreligious Books.

摘要

This paper attempts to determine the prevalent themes of the contemporary popular inspirational literature. It uses as a point of departure the preliminary draft by Dr. Samuel Z. Klausner, 'A Collocation of Concepts of Self-Control'. As part of his search of the self-help literature, Dr. Klausner studied ten general self-help books, as well as a large number of works oriented towards control of dietary and sexual problems.
