The Genocidal Mentality: Philip II of Spain and Sultan Abdul Hamid II
A brief historical comparison of Sultan Abdul Hamid of Turkey and King Philip II of Spain with Adolph Hitler revealed several similar personality traits that may be characteristic determinants of individuals prone to undertake genocidal measures. A commitment to bureaucratic detail coupled with an opportunistic belief in a Messianic destiny are key factors in these absolute rulers. The former attribute is considered to be so common in industrial …
Is Child Abuse a Human Instinct
The modern concept of instinct maintains that certain physical signs or events trigger the release of appropriate behavioural responses. According to Konrad Lorenz and other ethological theorists, the features and proportions of the infant body and face convey a sense of cuteness which releases a protective human instinct. Members of the Lorenz-Tinbergen school may also regard violent crime or war as manifestations of aggressive drives. A survey …
Reintegrative counseling: Reversing secular dissociation
Apparent Normality and Feigned Sociopathy
Attention is called to conscious episodes of mild sociopathy by technically normal individuals who are experiencing identification difficulties with their groups or substructures. These deliberately engineered episodes appear to represent distress signals to gain more attention and involvement from counsellors. The cases described involved behavioral hypochondria rather than mental or physical symptoms. Feigned sociopathy could be a surface manif…
Adolescent Unrest: A Form of Social Neoteny
Attempts ro derive psychological and sociological principles by finding analogies with biological laws have long been considered unproductive (Sorokin, 1928, Chap. 4) . Nevertheless, great utility has been claimed for Bertalanffy's general systems analysis for identifying interdisciplinary parallels (Grinker, 1976; Miller, 1976). The gross phenomena of closely related subjects like behavioral evolution (Kuttner, 1960) or cultural and biological e…
Contributions to Psychohistory: II. Toynbee's Study of History: A Contribution to the Psychology of Crisis Cults and Religion
The premise in the psychology of religion which maintains that religion is a response to an unmanageable stress or threat is shown to have applicability above the level of the individual. It is shown to be inherent in the function of institutionalized religion for families. Oppressed minorities, marginal classes, and primitive tribes show similar responses when their security is endangered. This is manifested by crisis cults, millennial cults, an…
Comparative Performance of Disadvantaged Ethnic and Racial Groups
Assessing the relative importance of environment and heredity on facets of group behavior can be extremely difficult. With respect to the possibility of racial differences in performance being partly of genetic origin, an authoritative statement recently contended: In the absence of some now unforseen way of equalizing all aspects of the environment, answers to this question can hardly be more than reasonable guesses (Council, 1968). The implicat…

The Schizophrenia Gene and Social Evolution
The evolutionary persistence of the schizophrenia genes is discussed from the viewpoint that some beneficial attribute must be associated with the heterozygous or recessive condition to compensate for the dysgenic effects of the fully expressed disease in the homozygous schizophrenic patient. Previous hypotheses suggesting that superior creativity or greater resistance to physiological shock or stress are familial accompaniments of schizophrenia …
