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.

This unusual book was written to provide a glimpse into the inner
"Rorschach" world of individuals -- psychology students in training
-- representing the basic Rorschach subtypes. The Rorschach records
of these graduate students in clinical psychology are presented
along with their own interpretations and analyses of their records.
In short, The Inside Story offers both a new approach to learning
projective diagnostic methods such as the Rorschach and a new
experience in the adventure of self-understanding.
