Description

The study Anti-Semitism and Emotional Disorder: A Psychoanalytic Interpretation', by Nathan W. Ackerman and Marie Jahoda, was published in 1950. The analysis was based on transcripts of antisemitic statements made by 27 clients of well-known psychoanalysts and 13 clients of social institutions in New York. Providing insights into the phenomenon of antisemitism, the study examines the differences and similarities between European and American antisemitism and is a productive intertwining of the methodologies of psychoanalysis, social psychology and sociology.
