The complete social scientist : a Kurt Lewin reader by Kurt Lewin ( Book )
11 editions published between 1999 and 2009 in English and held by 465 libraries worldwide
This anthology continues the effort to make Kurt Lewin's work easily accessible again by bringing together 15 significant articles that were written over a span of 30 yrs. These articles were selected because they still stand as relevant contributions to the world's culture and they reflect the extraordinary range over which Lewin's intellectual activity remains relevant. The first several selections present Lewin as a philosopher of science. The next section includes original reports by Lewin of programs of research that he and his students, or colleagues, carried out on key theoretical problems in motivational, developmental, and social psychology. Following is a selection of articles that Lewin wrote as an applied psychologist. Last are sections in which Lewin responded to requests for advice from policymakers and community leaders.

Resolving social conflicts ; &, Field theory in social science by Kurt Lewin ( Book )
15 editions published between 1948 and 2000 in 5 languages and held by 375 libraries worldwide
Because of the pervasiveness of K. Lewin's intellectual contributions to contemporary social psychology, [2 volumes of his collected writings, "Resolving Social Conflicts," and "Field Theory in Social Science," are being reissued in this] one comprehensive volume. The reissuing as a single volume is being done in part because, as D. Cartwright wrote in his Preface, both volumes are integrally related parts of Lewin's work. In "Resolving Social Conflicts," Lewin's writings reflect the applied psychologist--his practical interests in the nature and causes of social conflicts and his search for techniques in preventing and resolving them. In "Field Theory in Social Science," his concerns are those of the social scientist and the conceptual and methodological tools for understanding the individual and society.

Frustration and regression : an experiment with young children by Roger G Barker ( Book )
12 editions published between 1941 and 1977 in English and held by 225 libraries worldwide
"Scientific readers unfamiliar with Lewinian concepts might do well to preface their approach to these experimental studies with the reading of Part I, "Formalization and Progress in Psychology" of Studies in Topological and Vector Psychology I (University of Iowa Studies in Child Welfare, 1940, Vol. 16, No. 3). Another approach would be to begin directly with Chapter II of this study, "Experimental Regression Through Frustration," reserving for later reading the theoretical sections of Studies I and II. The present researches are important in demonstrating the generalized character of the phenomenon of regression: frustration leads to primitive behavior even in areas not connected to inaccessible goals. Behavior is modified in a central fashion. This book experiments with children and their frustration and regression." (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2007 APA, all rights reserved).
