Psychiatrists-- the men behind Hitler: The architects of horror Hardcover – January 1, 1995
Over the years, much attention has been focused on this madman and his partners in crime. How could such a phenonmenon have come to be, and how could it possibly have brought an entire country to commit such senseless acts of mass human extermination?
The result of years of research, this highly explosive and well-documented book will reveal the hidden forces behind the Nazi movement during the Third Reich-which not only inspired the atrocities of the Holocaust, but actually helped carry them out.
Incredibly, the Men Behind Hitler are very much with us today, still hidden but intimately involved in almost every aspect of our day-to-day life in education, medicine, law, government and even religion.
Who are the Men Behind Hitler and how can we recognize them?
This book names the names and presents the facts. In so doing, it will shine a bright light on a group that permeates the world today with the same dubious theories, methods and practices that incited the horrors of the Holocaust, and which are responsible for the declining state of human life in the world today.

Review
The book PSYCHIATRISTS - THE MEN BEHIND HITLER is a wonderful exposure of the perverts who operate behind a carefully built illusion of being "professionals".
The truth is more stark. The evidence of their crimes against humanity is irrefutable.
I wish to place on record my wish that the profession of psychiatry be closed down and those who practice this false profession be allowed ONLY to practice it upon their fellow psychiatrists and psychologists" -- Dr. Patience Koloko, National President of the Traditional Healers Association of Southern Africa
Right now I'm in the middle of Psychiatrists - Men behind Hitler. Got it Friday and can't put it down. Really started in earnest this AM (Sunday) and I got to a particular part, yelled in disgust, threw the book and wept (I'm weeping now as I remember). Thank you for the persistence needed to bring this off. -- Ray Thompson

- Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2004_Psychiatrists - the Men Behind Hitler_ is a strange book which examines the dark side of the psychiatric establishment. The authors contend that Hitlerian and Nazi philosophy have their roots not only in such individuals as Malthus, Darwin, Gobineau, and Nietzsche, but also in Nazi medicine, euthanasia, and the psychiatric establishment. Psychiatry has a difficult history and often it has sought to merge with both the eugenics movements and the criminal justice system of the day. This book details some of the dark goings on of the business of psychiatric enslavement, forced druggings, behavioral modification therapies, electroshock and insulin therapies, psychosurgeries such as lobotomy, and even castration and finally euthanasia. Those deemed "mentally ill" are all too often deprived of their rights and denied the ability to function in the world at large. The authors show how psychiatry has made its way into psychology through individuals such as Wilhelm Wundt and later the behaviorists and into mainstream education through John Dewey and American society. One particularly problematic area is that of drug use. Originally drugs were given to soldiers subsequent to the world wars. However, when these soldiers became addicted, a "War on Drugs" was declared. Also, the CIA has been notorious in administering drugs to certain locations, funding undercover drug operations etc., as well as having a near fanatical obsession with the "psychotogen" LSD. Whatever the real purpose behind LSD research is, it certainly is not a wholesome one and remains entirely mysterious. Also, the treatment of those who had fallen in battle, or who developed a case of "shell shock" as a result of the war remains appalling. Often the goal of the psychiatrist was simply to "snap" the individual back into a state suitable to go out and fight again (after the initial "snapping" had occurred rendering the individual in a state of shock). Within education, traditional values have been de-emphasized and the school systems entirely re-modified. For those who act out against this attack upon their belief systems, they are labelled as "prone to violence" or "overly paranoid". A human genome project has been instantiated which will allow physician/technocrats to tamper with the genetic code, as well as eliminating "undesirable" genotypes. All of this is being made possible and will consistute the Brave New World, dreamed of and heralded by prophets for many generations. Thus, we have the negative side of the psychiatric enterprise. In addition, psychiatry continues an assault on religion and religious belief, arguing often that religion is mere neurosis that needs to be stamped out, and that religious belief or belief in the traditional family is somehow unnecessary and needs to be "sloughed off". On the other hand, much that psychiatry has done has improved the lives of many through designer pharmaceuticals. Thus, in this sense, certain individuals can achieve a level of functioning they could not before by enhancing their brain chemistry. So, it is perhaps naïve to entirely buy into the argument of this book at face value. In addition, the authors of the book are associated with the Church of Scientology - basically little more than a firm of lawyers who go about suing those who refuse to foot the bill for L. Ron Hubbard's insane operation. In this sense it is probably not to be fully trusted. Also, no mention is made of the attrocities of psychiatry within Stalin's Russia. For example, all too frequently those deemed "unfit for work" were herded off to labor camps as part of a psychiatric state based apparatus in the former Soviet Union. I still give this book five stars however because of the disturbing nature of its contents, all too often denied and misunderstood by the mainstream presses of today. ...
- Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2016Scientology sponsored this research. Partial truth can be a propaganda tool. Hitler's rise to power was enabled by many powerful people. By no means all mentioned here. John McCloy was a colleague of Dulles and other Americans as High Commissioner for post war Germany. Paperclip was his doing. Not mentioned.
CD Jackson and J Edgar Hoover played important roles in all of this. Also not mentioned.
Gen. Frank McCarthy was instrumental. Not mentioned.
This book is important, just not as comprehensive as it claims.

- Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2011The Men Behind Hitler first appeared in German. Thankfully, it was translated into English by Rolf and Sybil Rentmeister, whose names deserve to be mentioned considering the excellent quality of the translation.
Like other historians writing on this subject around the middle of the previous decade, the authors explode the myth that the quest for racial purity started with Hitler. But they go one step farther, and also explode the myth that it ended with Hitler. "Eugenics" is still alive and well, particularly in North America and Europe. The name, of course, has been changed, but the idea behind it remains.
In the period leading up to Hitler's rise to power, Germany was the Mecca of psychiatry. Students from all over the world came to learn at the feet of the professors who would become king pins in third reich atrocities. Some of those king pins were later executed, several more committed suicide. Most not only escaped punishment, often protected from prosecution by U.S. psychiatrists, but continued their careers undisturbed. Furthermore, their students from across the world carried their teachings back to their own countries already before The Holocaust, and continue to do so to this very day. The mass murderers and their supporters are still considered authorities, and their works are widely quoted in current psychiatric professional literature. As though that weren't bad enough, after WWII psychiatrists in the U.S. lobbied to bring nazi psychiatrists to America so that their "knowledge" wouldn't be lost. These psychiatrists were responsible for, among other things, LSD experiments on unwitting prisoners.
In fact, the authors ascribe the origin of the drug culture which permeates developed societies to psychiatry. LSD, heroin, cocaine, and amphetamines were all first introduced by psychiatry, but leaked out into the general population, contributing to the violence of our societies.
Also interesting is the psychiatric connection to the war in the former Yugoslavia.
One surprising claim made by the authors is that by the fall of the third reich, over two million people had been compulsorily sterilized. Other historians place this figure at 400,000, most of those people later having been mass murdered. The authors provide no source for their figure, even though their book is otherwise well-researched. This probable exaggeration casts an undeserved shadow of incredibility over the rest of it.
Rather than dwelling on the details of the horrors, the authors repeatedly point to the source of psychiatric power: the state. Whether in the third reich, in the US, or in Bosnia, psychiatrists have always courted powerful politicians, permeated the military, and lobbied government.
Most unfortunate is that at least one of the book's authors is identified as head of the Citizens' Commission on Human Rights in Hamburg, and publication of the book was funded by the International Association of Scientologists. There is no reference at all to Scientology in the body of the book. The connection to Scientology no doubt keeps this excellent book off of academic library shelves and prevents its important message from receiving the attention it should.
