First, conceptual similarities to the id, ego, and superego are illustrated through scriptural verses and commentators of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Next, elements of the tripartite theory in the Eastern religions of Buddhism, Hinduism, and Sikhism are explored. Finally, this Freudian theory is viewed in relationship to various philosophical works from Ancient Greece to modern day. We suggest these earlier tripartite approaches emanating from diverse religious and philosophical movements emerge as a broader universal understanding of man from which Freud could have profited in developing one of his most seminal theories.

Three-hundred and fifty-three undergraduate psychology students responded to the Spiritual Intelligence Self-Report Inventory, the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale–Revised, the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7, and the Drug, Alcohol, and Nicotine scale. We hypothesized spiritual intelligence would be negatively associated with the study’s mental health outcomes. A secondary aim was to examine the contributions of spiritual intelligence model components to mental health. Overall spiritual intelligence was not associated with anxiety, depression, or substance use. Examination of the relationships between spiritual intelligence components and mental health suggested this model lacks cohesiveness in relation to mental health. While the capacity to critically examine existential issues was associated with i...

Since the 1990s, the majority of psychologists have supported RxP (Fagan, Ax, Liss, Resnick, & Moody, 2007; Sammons, Gorny, Zinner, & Allen, 2000). The psychiatric community has generally opposed RxP. The focus of this research study was to explore the viewpoints of Nurse Practitioners. Methods To be eligible for this study, participants must possess licensure as either a Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistants. Prospective respondents were identified through the NPI registry and Nurse Practitioner Association of New York (NPA). Participants were sent an email invitation to participate in this study. A 15 item scale was adapted from Sammons et al. (2000) for this study. A total of 118 Nurse Practitioners responded to this survey. Preliminary Results Nurse Practitioners show significant support for RxP. Majority of NPs supported the concepts that appropriately trained psychologists should be provided legal authority to prescribe psychotropic medication (68%); the acquisition of prescriptive privileges will enhance the ability of psychologists to more effectively treat certain clients/patients (79%), increase psychologist’s scope of practice (82%), lead to increased ability to care for underserved populations (77%), and increased ability to practice in a hospital setting (49%). All results were significant at p < .01. Moreover, a minority of NPs felt that the acquisition of prescriptive privileges would lead to damaged relations between psychologists and psychiatrists (22%), would lead to under-prescription (4%),over-prescription (20%), inappropriate prescription (18%), suboptimal medication (13%), insufficient monitoring of medication (19%), and prescriptive privileges would lead to medication taking the place of psychotherapy (23%). All results were significant at p < .01. Nurse practitioners showed significant concern that prescriptive privileges would lead to an increase in malpractice rates (51%) change psychologist’s professional identity (62%), and should be limited to doctoral-level licensed providers (44%). All results were significant at p < .05. Implications These results point to favorable support from other professional communities. Nurse practitioners have prescriptive authority in all 50 states (United States Department of Justice, 2012). As a result, psychologists should explore opportunities to collaborate with NPs to acquire prescriptive authority.
