Few authors who have written about Hitler have understood the
deeply damaging effects of psychic trauma on his private life and
the way he functioned in the public sphere. Nearly all major
biographers have neglected the importance of Hitler's childhood
trauma and his later combat trauma during World War I. In Wounded
Monster, Theo Dorpat demonstrates how extreme emotional and
physical abuse from his father, and his unusually long combat
service during the Great War became the most formative influences
of his life, resulting in severe psychiatric disorders. This
psychiatric biography of Hitler discusses the central importance of
his vulnerability to shame emotions, as well as the trauma-induced
construction of an extensive repertoire of mainly unconscious
mechanisms for the avoidance of feelings of shame. Dorpat provides
deep insights into Hitler's shame vulnerability as a prime cause of
his suicidal behavior, including his suicide threats, two failed
suicide attempts, and his final completed suicide. This work will
assist those attempting to explain Hitler and his actions, through
an examination of the influences that shaped his psyche.
