	Lloyd deMause - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lloyd deMause (born September 19, 1931) is an American social thinker known for his work in the field of psychohistory.
		He is the founder of The Journal of Psychohistory, which he edits, and has played a major role in the development of the International Psychohistorical Association (IPA), a multi-disciplinary group whose members are to varying degrees influenced by (and often also critical of) his ideas.
		Another key concept is that of group fantasy, which deMause regards as a mediating force between a psychoclass's collective childhood experiences (and the psychic conflicts emerging therefore) and the psychoclass's behavior in politics, religion and other aspects of social life.

	Book Review - The Emotional Life of Nations by Lloyd deMause - Reviewed by John A. Speyrer
		DeMause teaches us that ultimately we cannot understand history without appreciating that the unit of history is not the individual, culture, or nation, but the evolving mother-infant dyad, where the original "breach with nature" occurs.
		DeMause demonstrates that such an assumption of rationality should be a non-starter, and that otherwise incomprehensible wars may be understood as compulsive reenactments of childhood trauma, either revenge against the "terrifying mommy" or an attempt to kill off the projected bad-child self.
		Here deMause promulgates a view which is central to psychohistory but completely anathema to the conventional historian (let alone cultural anthropologist): that the achievement of empathy in even a minority of parents is a very recent historical phenomenon, and that most of the nonWestern world remains particularly backward and barbaric in their treatment of children.

	Ebel:
		Lloyd deMause was its editor and gave his office phone number in it, so I called him up and asked him about the implications of his ideas.
		DeMause is as sharp and systematic in charting the extent and the effects of cruelty and neglect toward children through history as Ebel is passionate and inventive in extending this thinking to its furthermost potential.
		He also gives deMause credit for having given him the crucial encouragement he needed to “let go, be personal, to not write in the preposterous academic mode.” While Ebel, in turn, gave deMause the impulses to trace adult grouplife to fetal and birth experiences, an area which has since dominated much of deMause’s thinking.

	*spark-online.com >> version 23.0, AUGUST.2001 >> JOHN FRAIM
		DeMause and the discipline of psychohistory believe the U.S. goes through group fantasy cycles in a continuing pattern based around the birth process.
		For deMause, this exclusion of the most powerful human feelings from social and political theory, coupled with the elimination of irrationality and self-destruction models of society, explains why the social sciences have such a dismal record in providing any historical theories worth studying.
		Perhaps in all those images of birth that Lloyd deMause so avidly tracks, there is the image of a new birth and wider acceptance for a discipline he has so fervently nourished for half a century.

		DeMause studied the writings and speeches of the leaders involved before the outbreak of World War II and found ideas of birth images appearing quite frequently.
		DeMause feels that there is. He examines factors that were in play which made America what it is. DeMause says that historians generally believe that events are caused by preceding events.

		DeMause is one of the founders of psychohistory—a discipline that applies the findings of depth psychology to history and political science.
		Psychohistorians study such issues as the relationship between the childhood history of political leaders and their systems of values and processes of decision-making, or the influence of childrearing practices on the nature of revolutions of that particular historical period.
		Lloyd deMause was very interested in my findings concerning the trauma of birth and its possible sociopolitical implications, because they provided independent support for his own research.

		Psychohistorian Lloyd deMause explains that, "Traumas which are inescapable because of helplessness can severely damage the hippocampus, killing neurons (causing lesions).
		Given that such extensive brain development occurs during the first years of life, it is plausible to consider that repeated trauma caused by these brain altering chemical surges during numerous and/or extended periods of unattended crying, unresolved separation anxieties and other fear-response situations, may predispose an individual to later-life impairments in emotional and social functioning.

		Lloyd deMAUSE delineates six historical modes of childrearing (http://members.xoom.com/childhistory/psychgen.htm, Broken Link, FQS, October 10, 2001] which largely determine what kinds of group fantasies and what kinds of restaging of childhood trauma will be prevalent in a society.

		DeMause likens the world's politics to the Aztec sacrificial rituals to give us some perspective.
		I know that DeMause's work revolves around the supposition that we relive the four matrices of birth: in the womb, change of environment before birth, in the birth canal, and emergence into the world.
		I know from reading DeMause's other books that things are getting better, but why in hell is it taking so long and so slow.

	Psychohistory Prediction of War
		To buy into psychohistory, you have to subscribe to some fairly wolly assumptions -- you have to agree that there are hidden messages embedded in our leaders' speeches, for instance, and that a nation's child-rearing techniques affect its foreign policy.
		>DeMause is sixty-three years old and slightly stooped, he has gray hair and a gray beard and a long, goatish face, and his eyes glisten.
		They all begin with what deMause has designated an Innovative Period: social experimentation, liberalism, invention, 'less scapegoating of women and minorities.' Naturally, members of the ruling establishment -- what deMause calls 'the older psychoclasses' -- don't take very kindly to all this trailblazing.

		The key psychohistory notion is that the varieties and agendas of politics and wars are the transgenerational outcomes of different and especially improving styles of child-rearing.
		As deMause has shown, I believe very convincingly, read his History of Childood, there has been a continuing evolution in the quality of childcare that has accelerated in the last hundred years, so that, less traumatized by 'normal' childhood, there is a corresponding shift in the politics that people see as appropriate to their experience.
		Psychohistory has greatly nourished my optimism, I have taken from it sense that even though history seems to be cyclical, it may have a benign direction, that is rooted in gradual but perceptible improvements in the quality and empathy of parenting.
