22 Cells in Nuremberg: A Psychiatrist Examines The Nazi Criminals

An eminent psychiatrist delves into the minds of Nazi leadership in "a fresh look at the nature of wickedness, and at our attempts to explain it" (Sir Simon Wessely, Royal College of Psychiatrists).

When the ashes had settled after World War II and the Allies convened an international war crimes trial in Nuremberg, a psychiatrist, Douglas Kelley, and a psychologist, Gustave Gilbert, tried to fathom the psychology of the Nazi leaders using extensive psychiatric interviews, IQ tests, and Rorschach inkblot tests. Never before or since has there been such a detailed study of governmental leaders who orchestrated mass killings.
