Abstract

An ex-army corporal with strong fascist attitudes writes his autobiography seeking to understand how he developed his anti-democratic, non-conformist impulses. Psychological test results and ratings by self and others are reported, with some evidence of self-satisfaction and self-justification, yet George is worried about his incompatible life goals. The discussant points out deep conflicts, inferiority feelings, and paranoid rigidity which prevent his plans from solving his dilemma. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)
