Aside Notes
Theodora Mead Abel (PhD) (1899 - 1998) was a clinical psychologist and educator noted for her innovative ideas of combining sociology with psychology. To her the social environment framed in time and space is crucial in finding answers to a client's questions. Since Abel's early pioneering work, several important names in psychology have been associated with the notion of psychology not only as social but also ecological, enriched with philosophical ideas and practices. Later still in the psychology of work and career, such names as Leach, Krumboltz etc emphasise the importance of social context in psychology.
"Abel" may be derived from the Hebrew "hevel", meaning "breath" as implied in the notion of "life".
Craft (1984) noted that there are two different Latin roots of the English word "education". They are "educare", which means to train or mold, and "educere", meaning to lead out.While the two meanings are quite different, they are both presented in the word "education".
