(2016) Italian psychology and Jewish emigration under fascism, Basingstoke, Palgrave Macmillan.
For love of psychology they had to come to terms with neo-idealism and Fascism; this was the justification repeatedly adopted by Italian psychologists a posteriori. Behind the protection of technical and aseptic scienticity, without values or choice, universal and neutral, some scientists of the psyche, like those of physics, abdicated their sense of responsibility, and slipped from theoretical agnosticism to a disengagement from the social and political implications of their work. In doing so they failed to ask themselves why and how or even what the consequences would be.
