Clio's Psyche - Psychological and Historical Insight without Jargon

Welcome to Clio's Psyche and the Psychohistory Forum.

Our mission is to enlarge and disseminate the related paradigms of applied psychoanalysis, political psychology, psychobiography, and of psychological history. We seek to do this in non-technical language.
Our goal is always to stimulate psychohistorical thought, publications, research, and teaching. Some specific objectives are as follows:

To encourage the general public to think psychohistorically
To disseminate psychohistorical knowledge
To communicate with Forum members and subscribers
To assist the networking of colleagues, especially in the Psychohistory Forum research groups
To grow the psychohistorical community and to the larger group of people interested in what we do
To help clinicians focus on history and current events
To assist academics in all disciplines — history, literature, political science, psychology, sociology, and so
forth — to utilize the insights and tools of psychoanalysis, psychobiography, and psychology
To foster psychohistorical debate, discussion, listening, publication, research, and thought
To help transmit the knowledge of an older generation of psychohistorians to those just entering the field
To research and publish the history of our field, honoring the work of those who have built it.
To make available online obituaries of those who die, memorializing their work
To assist in the intergenerational transmission of ideas

In conclusion, we welcome others joining with us to achieve the goals articulated in this mission statement.
