Town clerks in the Paris region: the design of a professional identity in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries

Chapter 4 explores what students studied at Irish medical schools from the late nineteenth to early twentieth century, a period when medical curriculum underwent a series of reforms. Furthermore, the chapter examines the importance of educational tools such as medical museums, laboratories and specimens in the context of students’ educational experiences and whether the role of science in medical curricula was affected by the differing philosophies of Irish universities. The transition from the lecture theatre to the hospital ward appears to have been a turning point in the educational experiences of many Irish doctors. Drawing primarily on doctors’ memoirs, student magazines and the surviving records of Irish hospitals relating to clinical education, this chapter illuminates this important facet of medical student experience and how it helped to shape professional identity. This chapter examines the type of hospital experience received by Irish students in addition to assessing the regional differences that existed. Religious persuasion also impacted on students’ choice of hospital, well into the twentieth century. Medical student societies were also an important educational agent for students. These societies helped to groom students into respectable future practitioners and instilled them with the ideals and values of the profession.

The One

This paper presents the case of psychology from a perspective not widely recognized by the West, namely, the Egyptian, Arab, and Islamic perspective. It discusses the introduction and development of psychology in this part of the world. Whenever such efforts are evaluated, six problems become apparent: (1) the one-way interaction with Western psychology; (2) the intellectual dependency; (3) the remote relationship with national heritage; (4) its irrelevance to cultural and social realities; (5) the inhibition of creativity; and (6) the loss of professional identity. Nevertheless, some major achievements are emphasized, and a four-facet look into the 21st century is proposed.
