Love's Story Told
Searching out the private man as well as the public figure, this elegantly written biography follows Henry Murray through his discoveries and triumphs as a pioneer in the field of clinical psychology, as a co-founder of Harvard's Psychological Clinic, the co-inventor of the Thematic Apperception Test, and a biographer of Herman Melville. Murray's fascination with Melville's troubled genius, his wartime experiences in the O.S.S., and his close friendships with Lewis Mumford and Conrad Aiken all come to the fore in this masterly reconstruction of a life. And always, at the heart of this story, Robinson finds Murray's highly erotic and mystical relationship with Christiana Morgan. Love's Story Told penetrates to the heart of a brilliant figure in American intellectual life at mid-century, as he dives deeply into the unconscious, testing in work and love the limits of self-exploration.
Analysis of the Personality of Adolph Hitler
The Analysis of Adolph Hitler, with Predictions of His Future Behavior and Suggestions for Dealing with Him, Now and After Germany's Surrender, was a two-hundred and forty page typewritten manuscript prepared for the wartime OSS, (Office of Strategic Services), by the Harvard Psychology Department under the supervision of Henry A. Murray, MD. The report was commissioned by the head of the OSS, William, "Wild Bill" Donovan and was done in collaboration with psychoanalyst Walter C. Langer, Dr. Ernst Kris of the New School for Social Research, and Dr. Bertram D. Lewin of the New York Psychoanalytic Institute. The report used multiple sources in profiling Hitler, including informants such as Ernst Hanfstaengl, Hermann Rauschning, Princess Stephanie von Hohenlohe, Gregor Strasser, Friedelinde Wagner and Kurt Ludecke. The work is considered a groundbreaking study and was the pioneer of offender profiling and political psychology, today commonly used by governments when assessing international relations.
The Mystery of Personality
In The Mystery of Personality: A History of Psychodynamic Theories, acclaimed professor and historian Eugene Taylor synthesizes the field’s first century and a half into a rich, highly readable account. Taylor situates the dynamic school in its catalytic place in history, re-evaluating misunderstood figures and events, re-creating the heady milieu of discovery as the concept of "mental science" dawns across Europe, revisiting the widening rift between clinical and experimental study (or the couch and the lab) as early psychology matured into legitimate science. Gradual but vital evolutions form the heart of this chronicle: the ebb and flow of analytic theory and practice, the shift from do...
Explorations in Personality
Based on a groundbreaking three-year study of 50 college-age men, this modern classic joins the insights and experience of 28 behavioral scientists in the first major exploration of the variables that comprise personality and ways in which they can be measured. Data was accumulated from intensive interviews, specially devised experiments, autobiographies, conversations, childhood memories, "free association" hours, sexual development history, and from exhaustive series of psychological tests to measure predictive abilities, aesthetic appreciation, level of aspiration, memory failure, ethical standards, sensorimotor learning and emotional conditioning. Drawing on this extraordinary fund of information--reported on in detail in this volume--Dr. Murray and his associates set forth an all encompassing theory of personality, and demonstrate, in an 87-page case study," the accuracy with which a complete personality profile can be compiled--from back cover
