Short report
De medische en psychologische beoordeling van Hitler
A. Stam
A. Stam: Medical and psychological judgments on Hitler. A bibliographical survey with historica! notes.
A very heterogeneous collection of psychodiagnostic endeavours is reviewed. The author presents these speculative publications mainly chronologically and submits them partly to critique. Some of the studies concerned - especially 'a neurohistorical formulation' - are rather reckless in their search for supporting evidence. The author shares Waite's opinion that pathography cannot replace biography.
