摘要
During World War II in 1941, the psychologist P. R. Hofst盲tter added an article to the debate on the crisis of psychology in a distinctly Nazi academic journal. After introducing Hofst盲tter and the journal, the core elements of his diagnosis and therapy recommendation beneath the National-Socialist-verbiage will be expounded. Hofst盲tter, a student of Karl B眉hler鈥檚, ties on to his teacher鈥檚 crisis well-known publication, but perceives the crisis in a broader perspective and connects it to the decline of theology and of pastoral guidance. Hofst盲tter鈥檚 central, new aspect is the practice of psychology without which he sees it doomed. A central feature of psychological practice should be secular, non-therapeutic guidance of individuals. Various contextual facets are illuminated, Hofst盲tter鈥檚 thwarted attempts to get a university position, the recent establishment of psychology in Germany as a discipline teaching professionals, the abolition of German military psychology, the battle for the Berlin university chair of Wolfgang K枚hler.
