title: Hitler's psychopathology: advantages and limitations of psychohistorical assessments of personality.
abstract: Psychohistorians have uncovered a wealth of evidence suggesting that Hitler's psychopathology became projected and rationalized as social policy. Despite this cumulative evidence, no specific diagnosis has been generally accepted. The strengths and weaknesses of psychohistorical research and the ethical responsibilities involved in its use are discussed.
