The Therapized Antisemite determines the failure of psychology in the understanding and
punishment of antisemitism. For over a hundred years psychology's vision - understanding the
mind and conquering feelings with thoughts - has remained a myth in much of Western societies.
Despite its theories and concepts being widely criticized and often proven wrong it remains
part of our culture academia and legal systems. Instead of hoping for the field of psychology
to one day solve the problem of antisemitism and how to punish it we must ask ourselves how
much it has not helped but rather harmed the fight against it. Through exploring social
clinical and forensic psychology as well as psychohistory and the intrusion of psychology
into criminal law and policymaking The Therapized Antisemite argues that we don't yet
understand what causes antisemitism in psychological terms let alone how to go about solving
the problem. The Holocaust the Nuremberg Trials Hitler biographies the Halimi murder Hate
Crime Mental Illness False Memory and Criminal Profiling are all discussed within the book.
The Therapized Antisemite looks to change the way readers think about antisemitism psychology
and law and will be of interest to legal and social science academics and students researching
and practicing within the fields of criminal law criminology antisemitism studies Jewish
studies and psychology.
