I'm reading Demause's article "on Writing Childhood History" and it struck me that there are a good number of Germans involved in the psychohistory movement (if you can call it that), I mean there's Alice Miller, and in the article he talks about how the first few critical takes (as opposed to defensive and ad Hominem takes) on his work were published by Germans.
I think facing the extremity of the holocaust and the wide-spread pathology of the german people that made it possible in such recent memory makes it harder for a german scholar to just flatly deny that cold blooded murderers are created in the family.
