7. Read the text and get ready to talk about Kurt Goldstein.

Kurt Goldstein was born in 1878, he received his MD from the University of Breslau in 1903. He went to teach at the Neurological Institute of the University of Frankfurt, where he met the founders of Gestalt psychology.

He went to Berlin to be a professor there, and then went on to New York City in 1935. There, he wrote «The Organism» in 1939, and later «Human Nature in the Light of Pathology»in 1963. He died in 1965.

Golstein developed a holistic view of brain function, based on research that showed that people with brain damage learned to use other parts of their brains in compensation. He extended his holism to the entire organism, and postulated that there was only one drive in human functioning, and coined the term self-actualization. Self-preservation, the usual postulated central motive, he said, is actually pathological.

Goldstein and his idea of self-actualization influence quite a few young personality theorists and therapists. Among them would be Gordon Allport, Carl Rogers, and Abraham Maslow, founders of the American humanistic psychology movement.

Norbert Wiener was born November 26, 1894 in Columbia, Missouri. His father was a professor of Slavic languages who wanted more than anything for his son to be a genius. Fortunately, Norbert was up to the task. He was reading by age three, started high school at nine, graduated at 11, got his bachelors at 14, and his masters — from Harvard — at 17. His received his PhD a year later, in 1913, with a dissertation on mathematical logic.

After graduation, he went to Cambridge to study under Bertrand Russell, and then to the University of Gottingen to study under the famous mathematician David Hilbert. When he returned, he taught at Columbia, Harvard, and Maine University, spent a year as a staff writer for the «Encyclopedia Americana», another year as a journalist for the Boston Herald, and worked as a mathematician for the army.

He married Margaret Engemann in 1926, and they had two daughters.

He began by studying the movement of particles and quantum physics, which led him to develop an interest ininformation transmission and control mechanisms. In 1948, he published «Cybernetics: or Control and Communication in the Animal and the Machine».Later, in 1964,he published the book «God and Golem », which he subtitled «a comment on certain points where cybernetics impinges on religion». He was concerned that someday machines may overtake us, their creators. That same year, he won the National Medal of Science. A few weeks later, March 18, he died in Stockholm, Sweden.
