Hitler Psychoanalysis Now Available Online

A rare 1943 document — a psychological analysis of the personality of Adolph Hitler that predicted, among other things, his eventual suicide — is now available on the Cornell Law Library’s Web site, at: http://www.lawschool.cornell.edu/library/donovan/hitler/ .

The copyright to the original document — number three of only 30 copies made — was granted to the Law Library by Nina Murray, the widow of the document’s main author, Dr. Henry A. Murray.

Henry Murray was a pre-World War II director of the Harvard Psychological Clinic and, during the war, served in the Office of Strategic Services, the forerunner to the Central Intelligence Agency. The psychological profile of Hitler was among the papers discovered in the Law Library’s Donovan Nuremberg Trials Collection.
