Dr. Brickner Would Form Protectorate,
Handle Nation as Simple Case of Paranoia
(Editor's Note: The following story
is based on two articles appearing in
the March and April issues of the At-
lantic Monthly. They form part of a
book, "Is Germany Incurable?", by Dr.
Richard M. Brickner, psychiatrist at

geons, Columbia University, which will

By HOWARD W. BLAKESLEE
Associated Press Science Editor
BOSTON, March 25.-A new idea
for curing Germany of Naziism after
the war is proposed by Richard
M. Brickner, M.D., psychiatrist at
the College of Physicians and Sur-
geons, Columbia University.
He proposes a protectorate, within
Germany, for part of the German
people. The protectorate would be
concerned primarily with the Ger-
man mind, just as a doctor treats
the mind of an unbalanced person.
Sane Will Dominate
The protectorate would nurse the
political growth and eventual dom-
ination of Germany by a single group
of its own citizens, comprising those
millions who still have sane, peace-
ful, democratic minds and hearts.
The method, completely new for
handling a nation, he says, is an old-
as-the-hills treatment for a paranoid
Person. It should succeed in Ger-
many, he argues, because Germans
have become a paranoid nation.
IDr., Brickner presents his case in
a book, "Is Germany Incurable?", to
be published in the near future by
Curti Traces
.Wa r's Effect
On Intellect
The Revolution, the Civil War and
the First World War, as well as the
present conflict, have helped to stamp
the American mind with some of its
riiost obvious intellectual character-
istics, Dr. Merle Curti, well-known
historian and educator, said yester-
day in his lecture on "The Impact of
American Wars on Education" at the
Rackham Amphitheatre.,
Tracing some of the common fac-
tors operating during these struggles,
Dr. Curti maintained that each of
our major conflicts had contributed
something to the movement for cul-
tiral independence from the Old
World.
The present war, he added, is stim-
ulating the breakdown between the-
ory and practice in education.
J. B. Lippincott Company, and in
two articles in the March and April
issues of the Atlantic Monthly.
Paranoids are a very numerous
class of humans. A paranoid is meg-
alomanic, grandiose, mystic, unable
to accept any reasoning that goes
against his aggrandizement. He may
imagine his mission is divine. In
that case he can kill with a clear
conscience.
Dr. Brickner writes, "As a re-
sponsible physician practicing neu-
rology and psychiatry, intimately
acquainted with the sick minds that
laymen call crazy and insane, and
that we call psychotic, I can say:
"First, the national group we call
Germany behaves and has long be-
haved startlingly like an individual
involved in a dangerous mental
trend. Although many individual
Germans may not participate in this
trend, the mass actions of the Ger-
man nation are and, for over a cen-
tury, have been typical of what the
psychiatrist finds in certain highly
alarming types of individual behav-
ior.
Germany Approaches Paranoia
"Second, clinical experience can
identify the specific condition that
Germany's mental trend approaches.
It is paranoia, as grim an ill as mind
is heir to, the most difficult to treat,
the only mental condition that
frightens the psychiatrist himself."
This paranoid spirit has perme-
ated the emotional core of the Ger-
man people, says Dr. Brickner. The
Nazis are only a symptom. Merely
their destruction would leave the
core unchanged.
He claims there are three ways to
handle the German peace:
A repetition of a punitive Ver-
sailles Treaty;
Extermination, as Rome destroyed
Carthage;
Something entirely different.
Cause of War
"No peace can be lasting," he as-
serts, "unless it clearly recognizes
and eliminates the paranoid type of
German. Failure to recognize the
paranoid base was the cause of fail-
ure of the World War peace, of
Prime Minister Neville Chamber-
lain's and other efforts. It is the
fundamental cause of the present
war.
Merely the punishment, or. even
execution of Nazi leaders, would not
insure peace in Dr. Brickner's opin-
ion. For that remedy would only
leave grim millions of Germans with
the old paranoid ideas to set out for
a new and worse world war.
