In Decoding the Past, Peter Loewenberg has collected eleven of his
brilliant essays on psychohistory, a discipline that has emerged
from the synthesis of traditional historical analysis and clinical
psychoanalysis. He surveys this relatively new field its methods
and its problems to show the special contributions that
psychoanalysis can make to history. He then further explores the
psychohistorical method by applying it to studies of personality,
cultures, groups, and mass movements, demonstrating that
psychohistory offers one of the most powerful of interpretive
approaches to history. Decoding the Past is an impressive study
that demonstrates the range of Loewenberg's own work in history and
psychoanalysis and the full promise of an important and innovative
methodology for others. His new essay takes up many of the
criticisms and concerns raised about the method of psychohistory,
and offers a cogent defense for its continued usage.
