Psychohistory, the science of historical motivations, combines the insights
of psychotherapy with the research methodology of the social sciences to understand
the emotional origin of the social and political behavior of groups and nations,
past and present. The center of psychohistorical research around the globe is
The Institute for Psychohistory, which is headquartered in New York City
and has 18 branches in other countries. The Institute is chartered by the State
of New York as a not-for-profit educational corporation, the Association for
Psychohistory, Inc., and for the past 35 years has published The Journal
of Psychohistory, various books by The Psychohistory Press, and has been
affiliated with the International Psychohistorical Association, which holds
an annual convention. Its director is Lloyd deMause,
whose work (see below for full texts) is used in most college courses in psychohistory.
This website contains extensive material reproduced from The Journal of Psychohistory
and from deMause's books: Foundations of Psychohistory, Reagan's America
and The Emotional Life of Nations. It also contains addresses of Institute
branches and links to the International Psychohistorical Association and other
websites and discussion lists.
