GB 1556 WL 647 1897-1932 collection 2 boxes Plaut , Paul , fl 1929 , German psychiatrist and child delinquency expert

In 1929 Dr Paul Plaut, a psychiatrist and child delinquency expert in Berlin, published a book, Die Psychologie der produktiven Persönlichkeit. In preparation he sent questionnaires to about 400 prominent scientists and artists in Germany and Austria asking for their views and experiences.

Mrs Claire Allan, Mar 1988

Responses to a questionnaire by Paul Plaut, designed as research for Die Psychologie der produktiven Persönlichkeit, from prominent scientists and artists in Germany and Austria on their views about science and creativity. There are some interesting responses from outside the German speaking countries (Miguel de Unamuno, John Galsworthy), but the bulk of the contributions represent the views of German-speaking academics and artists. Responses to the scientific questionnaire include Albert Einstein, Fritz Haber and Erwin Finlay Freundlich as well as lay figures such as Gustav Radbrüch and Wilhelm Hellpach. Communications from writers range from letters by Heinrich and Franziska Mann to a postcard from Elsa Laska-Schüler. Architects write about their work and new ideas (Erich Mendelsohn) and some of the painters give insights into their creative development, notably Wassily Kandinsky, Otto Dix and Max Pechstein.

The responses are arranged alphabetically by correspondent into folders, 647/1-25. A few of the responses which are not related to Plaut's book have been subsumed into the main alphabetical series. At folder 647/26 there are some unidentified letters. At folder 647/ 27 is a hand written list of correspondents. At folder 647/28 are some unidentified patients' letters. At folder 647/29 are 3 much older letters by Theodor Fontane, Wilhelm Raabe and F. Skarbina.
