Psychologist Gives Free Will Concepts
Free will and freedom are not necessarily synonymous, said William A. Binns, clinical psychologist at Watkins Hospital health service, Sunday. He was addressing a combined Wesley and Canterbury meeting at 5 p.m. Sunday in the first of three theological workbook sessions. Binn's talk set the background for the rest of the meetings.
BINNS SAID he would approach the matter from the stand-point of the behavioral sciences. The concept of free will was present to some degree before 1900.
After about 1900, empirical testing came into prominence, Bimsa said. The empirical tests could not prove free will, therefore it was thought to be nonexistent or unimportant.
PSYCHOANALYSIS was developing about the same time, Binns said. This school operated on the premise of more to the man than the layer of cerebral cortex.
Binns noted that determining what is essential to a person is not the easiest task in the world. He said that one cannot be free without being in good health but did not say what parts of the body should be healthy.
BINNS THEN went into a few

pointers from Erich Fromm's Escape from Freedom. Fromm did not stick to strictly psychological considerations, Binns said, he went into areas of philosophy, sociology, and even history.

KU Business Wives, 7.30 p.m. Meeting at home of Mrs. L. Torkelson, R. P. 2. Lawrence, Program. Ellen of Hollywood.
FROMMS ARGUMENT boils down to a fear of responsibility, Binns said. Man is afraid to accept the liabilities that go with freedom.
After Fromm, Binns discussed Eric H. Ericson who had established eight stages of personal development. Erickson, he said, also discussed the concept of exerting personal decision, Binns said—the human being is a force rather than a passive entity.
Binns said that he had presented some approaches to the study of freedom and would present one more that comes from a group called psycho-synthesists.
