Scope and content
File consists of photocopied articles and typed summaries related to psychology, in particular the psychology of religion. One summary of a work by John Eudes Bamberger contains a typed critique by Nouwen and a response to this critique by Bamberger. These reading notes most likely relate to Nouwen's fall semester course Psychology 121A: Psychology of Religion of 1966. The materials of this file may also be the product of Nouwen's education at the Menninger Clinic in Topeka, Kansas between 1964 and 1966.
File also includes an article titled "Gordon William Allport" by Nouwen as well as articles and summaries of works by Bamberger, E.R. Goodenough, Paul W. Pryser, and Marguerite Sechehaye. There is also a section of typed case notes titled "Pastoral Care", the author is unknown.

Note
Title based on contents of the file.
The contents of this file all contain three-hole punch marks, which are also present in the materials attributed to the 1967 summer course on the Psychology of Religion. However, what few documents that contain dates are for August 1966. As well, student assignments for the summer course (see file 2085) mention works by Goodenough, Freud and Allport, authors reviewed in this file. It is possible that Nouwen used his 1966 notes for his summer course as well.
