What contributions can psychology make toward understanding the
course of individual lives and the flow of historical events? After
an introduction which reviews the intellectual and institutional
history of the field, chapters by distinguished contributors
explore the uses of psychoanalysis, neo-analytic theory, and
academic psychology in historical interpretation. Substantive
examples range from Joseph Stalin to Alice James, sexuality in
Victorian England, the U.S. Continental Congress, and advances in
psychohistorical studies of Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany. The
conclusion re-examines the conceptual foundations of psychohistory,
outlining its differentiated internal structure and its
relationships to adjacent fields such as psychological
anthropology, historical sociology, and political psychology. The
volume as a whole is intended to advance and deepen the debate
about the relationships between psychology, biography, and
historical interpretation.
