Half a century after the collapse of the Nazi regime and the Third Reich, scholars from a range of fields continue to examine the causes of Nazi Germany. An increasing number of young Americans are attempting to understand the circumstances that led to the rise of the Nazi party and the subsequent Holocaust, as well as the implication such events may have for today as the world faces a resurgence of neo-Nazism, ethnic warfare, and genocide. In the months following World War II, extensive psychiatric and psychological testing was performed on over 200 Nazis in an effort to understand the key personalities of the Third Reich and of those individuals who "just followed orders." In addressing these issues, the current volume examines the strange history of over 200 Rorschach Inkblot protocols that were administered to Nazi war criminals and answers such questions as: * Why the long delay in publishing protocols? * What caused such jealousies among the principals? * How should the protocols be interpreted? * Were the Nazis monsters or ordinary human beings? This text delivers a definitive and comprehensive study of the psychological functioning of Nazi war criminals -- both the elite and the rank-and-file. In order to apply a fresh perspective to understanding the causes that created such antisocial behavior, these analyses lead to a discussion within the context of previous work done in social and clinical psychology. Subjects discussed include the authoritarian personality, altruism, obedience to authority, diffusion of responsibility, and moral indifference. The implications for current political events are also examined as Neo-Nazism, anti-Semitism, and ethnic hate are once again on the rise. While the book does contain some technical material relating to the psychological interpretations, it is intended to be a scholarly presentation written in a narrative style. No prior knowledge of psychological testing is necessary, but it should be of great benefit for those interested in the Rorschach Inkblot test, or with a special interest in psychological testing, personality assessment, and the history of psychology. It is also intended for readers with a broad interest in Nazi Germany.

The focus of "Sports Medicine and Neuropsychology" is the question
of what role the neuropsychologist should have in the diagnosis,
treatment, and management of sports-related concussions. The goal
of this special issue is to examine the most current issues facing
this growing and dynamic field of neuropsychology. The first
article is dedicated to reviewing current issues in the
neuropsychological assessment of concussions in sports-related
events. The next paper examines data on over six million
practice-and-game-exposures among athletes participating in the
NCAA's Injury Surveillance System. Two contributions examine the
empirical role that neuropsychologists can have in the area of
concussion research. The final two papers review the advantages and
limitations on computer-based assessment of sports-related
concussions and discuss neuropsychology's role in return-to-play
decisions following them.

concussion management programs are described in depth. Coverage
encompasses the most sophisticated, evidence-based neurocognitive
techniques, including computerized test batteries for pre- and
