That's probably a different kind of psychohistory than the one Edwarda is talking about, Charley. <g> The academic psychohistorians (and it is not a separate discipline) pepper their subjects with Freud before serving them up. (Or with Ericson, whose "Young Man Luther" is a classic of the genre, or with who have you.) Anyway, I have the feeling that psychohistory is petering out, now that traditional psychoanalysis has gone out of style.

Couldn't resist taking a cyberpeek at the titles in the latest issue of The Journal of Psychohistory, and two of them, it seemed to me, have promise. <g>

The Gulf War as a Mental Disorder
Clinton's America: The Phallic Presidency

Anyway, you probably know this all already, and are just pulling legs again. So -- what did Hari Seldon have in mind by psychohistory?
