The authors contend that Hitlerian and Nazi philosophy have their roots not only in such individuals as Malthus, Darwin, Gobineau, and Nietzsche, but also in Nazi medicine, euthanasia, and the psychiatric establishment. Psychiatry has a difficult history and often it has sought to merge with both the eugenics movements and the criminal justice system of the day. This book details some of the dark goings on of the business of psychiatric enslavement, forced druggings, behavioral modification therapies, electroshock and insulin therapies, psychosurgeries such as lobotomy, and even castration and finally euthanasia. Those deemed "mentally ill" are all too often deprived of their rights and denied the ability to function in the world at large. The authors show how psychiatry has made its way into psychology through individuals such as Wilhelm Wundt and later the behaviorists and into mainstream education through John Dewey and American society. One particularly problematic area is that of drug use. Originally drugs were given to soldiers subsequent to the world wars. However, when these soldiers became addicted, a "War on Drugs" was declared. Also, the CIA has been notorious in administering drugs to certain locations, funding undercover drug operations etc., as well as having a near fanatical obsession with the "psychotogen" LSD. Whatever the real purpose behind LSD research is, it certainly is not a wholesome one and remains entirely mysterious. Also, the treatment of those who had fallen in battle, or who developed a case of "shell shock" as a result of the war remains appalling. Often the goal of the psychiatrist was simply to "snap" the individual back into a state suitable to go out and fight again (after the initial "snapping" had occurred rendering the individual in a state of shock). Within education, traditional values have been de-emphasized and the school systems entirely re-modified. For those who act out against this attack upon their belief systems, they are labelled as "prone to violence" or "overly paranoid". A human genome project has been instantiated which will allow physician/technocrats to tamper with the genetic code, as well as eliminating "undesirable" genotypes. All of this is being made possible and will consistute the Brave New World, dreamed of and heralded by prophets for many generations. Thus, we have the negative side of the psychiatric enterprise. In addition, psychiatry continues an assault on religion and religious belief, arguing often that religion is mere neurosis that needs to be stamped out, and that religious belief or belief in the traditional family is somehow unnecessary and needs to be "sloughed off". On the other hand, much that psychiatry has done has improved the lives of many through designer pharmaceuticals. Thus, in this sense, certain individuals can achieve a level of functioning they could not before by enhancing their brain chemistry. So, it is perhaps naïve to entirely buy into the argument of this book at face value. In addition, the authors of the book are associated with the Church of Scientology - basically little more than a firm of lawyers who go about suing those who refuse to foot the bill for L. Ron Hubbard's insane operation. In this sense it is probably not to be fully trusted. Also, no mention is made of the attrocities of psychiatry within Stalin's Russia. For example, all too frequently those deemed "unfit for work" were herded off to labor camps as part of a psychiatric state based apparatus in the former Soviet Union. I still give this book five stars however because of the disturbing nature of its contents, all too often denied and misunderstood by the mainstream presses of today. ...Read less15 people found this helpfulHelpfulComment Report abuseBadger753.0 out of 5 starsScientology sponsored half truthApril 30, 2016Format: HardcoverVerified PurchaseScientology sponsored this research. Partial truth can be a propaganda tool. Hitler's rise to power was enabled by many powerful people. By no means all mentioned here. John McCloy was a colleague of Dulles and other Americans as High Commissioner for post war Germany. Paperclip was his doing. Not mentioned.CD Jackson and J Edgar Hoover played important roles in all of this. Also not mentioned.Gen. Frank McCarthy was instrumental. Not mentioned.This book is important, just not as comprehensive as it claims.4 people found this helpfulHelpfulComment Report abuseRichard Wybenga5.0 out of 5 starsFive StarsMarch 5, 2015Format: HardcoverVerified PurchasegoodHelpfulComment Report abuseBruce P. Barten5.0 out of 5 starsSome Real People in HistoryJune 9, 2000Format: HardcoverThere is a little section of this book called "Psychiatry Gets Into the American Military" which starts on page 263 with the situation in 1917, when the military realized that it needed a "better selection of recruits who would not fall victim to this dreaded mental disturbance." Soon after the United States became openly nukers, "potential recruits were subjected to psychological testing along with regular medical and physical tests. The fact that nearly two million civilians were rejected on psychological grounds was proclaimed as proof of a growing mental illness in the United States." (p. 265) Something like a paradox appears in the diary of a young American psychiatrist, Winfred Overholser, who later became part of the Psychological Division of the Office of Strategic Services, but when nukes were just a remote possibility. When he had the opportunity to treat psychoneurotics in France during World War I, he wrote, "Time is on our side and some of the patients get well in spite of us." (p. 263) For people who would prefer a different slant on what was going on, a biographical sketch on Winfred Overholser may be found in the Sept.-Oct. 1949 issue of "The American Journal of Occupational Therapy." In my poor understanding of German words, I think the doctor's name means too wooden. If this makes anyone think of how often Charlie Brown was considered a blockhead, maybe Peanuts fans would enjoy this book.5 people found this helpfulHelpfulComment Report abuseJane James5.0 out of 5 starsAn important book on the subject of WWIIFebruary 3, 2001Format: HardcoverI think any comprehensive study of WWII should include this book. I read "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich" in high school, as part of my required reading for history class, but I think this book is much more complete in terms of what actually influenced Hitler, and the undue and horrifying influence the psychiatrists had on civilization.What is even more upsetting is the realization that this same "science" continues to hold power over our culture. The proteges of psychiatrists who advocated horrific "experiments" and treatments including execution, are now influential psychiatrists in practice or in universities. This is frightening, folks, but I think it's important that we take a good long look at this book and the data presented.My thanks to the author for presenting this material in such a compelling manner.17 people found this helpfulHelpfulComment Report abuseJohn G. Hilliard3.0 out of 5 starsNot For General InterestApril 18, 2002Format: HardcoverIn my opinion this book is not a user-friendly book for the general reader that is interested in the topic. The book covers the start of the "Final Solution" by documenting how in the early 1930's many German psychiatrists were using sterilization, then major brain surgeries and finally death to treat children and adults that had any number of physical and mental conditions. The book goes on to say that this because an excepted practice within the German government in dealing with these "less then perfect" people and eventually lead to the full scale use of the gas chambers at the death camps.The book is dealing with this topic from more of a clinical point of view. The authors are doctors and they're writing style is more suited to a medical journal then a general interest book. I would think this book would appeal mainly either to psychiatrists interested in the topic or someone that is doing research on the holocaust.8 people found this helpfulHelpfulComment Report abuseSee all 11 customer reviewsWrite a customer review
