Abstract
C.G. Deshpande has made significant contributions to the field of psychology through a variety of published works. Notably, he authored On Inter-caste Marriage and a Marathi text on ‘Abnormal Psychology’. His 1978 research-based book, Suicide and Attempted Suicide, further highlights his scholarly engagement, alongside co-authored works in Marathi on social and general psychology. His research on ‘Tribal Norms of Raven’s Progressive Matrices Test’ is featured in the collection Uses and Abuses of Intelligence, edited by John and Jean Raven. Additionally, he provided valuable insights on psychological themes through three years of weekly articles in the daily Prabhat (Pune), addressing matters such as family dynamics, personality development, and social issues. His practical contributions include the development of six psychological tests, notably the ‘Marriage Adjustment Inventory’, ‘Personal Adjustment Inventory’, and ‘Conflictive Thoughts Analysis Inventory’.
