Shrinking History On Freud and the Failure of Psychohistory – (PDF/EPUB Version)

Studies the burgeoning field of psychohistory – from Freud, its primogenitor, to its present-day academic practitioners – and argues that little, if any, psychohistory is good history. The author systematically points out the pitfalls, sheer irrationality, and ultimately ahistorical nature of this mode of historical inquiry.
