Henry A. Murray on Psychoanalysis - Dictionary of Arguments
Corr I 13 Psychonanalysis/Hitler/Murray: The psychology clinic at Harvard University, from the 1920s onward, provided a place for psychologists to conduct research on personality from a more holistic view of the person, influenced strongly by the psychoanalytic ideas of Henry Murray (1938)(1). This approach lent itself to the idiographic study of individual persons. Murray applied the psychoanalytic model to interpret the personality of Adolf Hitler during the Second World War and to predict his future behaviour, in a report commissioned by the United States government to assist the Allies in defeating him (Langer 1972(2)). >Nomothetic/idiographic, >Measurement, >Experiments, >Method, >Prediction, >Induction. 1.
