Adolf Hitler’s mind was in many ways “complicated.” He was known to have suffered many illnesses ranging from hypertension, headaches, problems with his vision, to abdominal spasms. All of these sicknesses and disabilities could have caused him to not think “clearly,” but the list of his issues goes on and it is believed by some that they are the root cause for the Holocaust and the inhumane actions of Hitler. Hitler growing up unrecognized and insignificant caused him to create a growing need for attention, recognition, and power and these needs only continued to increase with age, but with age came these physical problems and psychological problems such as sadism, anti-Semitism, and national socialism (Nazism). Hitler developed power, but used it for awful things that cannot be blamed on him hearing noises and other “illnesses” he had.
Adolf Hitler has been examined, scrutinized, and picked apart by countless scientists, psychologists, professors, and really anyone with a curiosity about him or the way the human mind works. Hitler is hard to categorize though as someone under one personality disorder. He can’t just be labeled as just one specific thing, such as a sadist. This is because although he hurt so many and clearly enjoyed doing it and thus took pleasure from it, it went beyond hurting people in general, but took it further as to hurt a specific category. Hitler was an anti-Semitist and thus wanted to exterminate Jewish people. Anti-Semitism is defined by the Merriam Webster dictionary as the “hostility toward or discrimination against Jews as a religious, ethnic, or racial group,” thus making it a form of racism. Anti-Semitism was not a new idea to the time period of post-World War I.

...en became the person in charge of it. He transitioned from a child hearing his mayor promote anti-Semitism, to a viscous dictator killing Jews in gas chambers. What possessed Hitler was this extreme desire to “save” his country and his mind must have been pretty warped to believe that his method was the proper way to go about this, he did what he had set out to do. He was a nationalist and put what he wanted for his country above all and went to extreme measures to make it happen. So although Hitler may have had many aches pains, bruises and bumps, most people have issues, but they do not go around trying to extinguish a religious group of people. Hitler went to inhumane measures to create a name for him and go above and beyond being “well known,” but there must have been something pretty twisted underneath that caused him to believe what he was doing was right.
Adolf Hitler, born in 1889, is an Austrian born man who is known for his instigation and participation in the Nazi Political movement, or genocide, known as the Holocaust. Throughout his later life, Hitler spent the majority of his time organizing discriminatory laws that prevented Jewish citizens’ basic rights and ultimately their demise. However, before he advanced such laws and politics, he served as the Head of State, Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, until he became the Fuhrer of Germany’s Third Reich which began in 1933 and ended in 1945 (Jewish Virtual Library). His actions were fueled by an unrelenting and strict hate for the Jewish community, better known as anti-Semitism, much like the vast majority of Eastern countries. Both
During the end of the 1930’s, Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party rose into action. Hitler is commonly referenced and linked with World War II, and has become famous for his brutal dictatorship in Germany. Adolf Hitler began the persecution of Jews with the belief that they were insignificant to the human race. Along with Jews, he believed that handicapped, mentally ill, and elderly people did not deserve the right to live. This horrifying genocide killed over 2/3 of the Jewish population in Europe.
During childhood Hitler experienced an abusive relationship from his father leading him to develop many feelings of inferiority. Hitler’s childhood was one that did not provide any freedom. The only thing that Hitler could have control over was his own feelings from which he “refused to give his father the satisfaction of crying, even after 32 lashes” (Stephen A. Diamond 2014). Narcissistic personality disorder is usually developed when an individual is trying to compensate for experiences they had at an earlier age. As he grew up he was seeking the empowerment at any cost without caring for the harm they may cause to anyone else. Hitler chased this power by getting involved in politics. With all the anger and hatred, he had towards his father because of his childhood his search for superiority was filled with an aggressive personality. To be able to help a person with this personality disorder a group of health care must work together around the affected one to provide a good environment to start a person’s personality change. Unfortunately, the treatment can only be accomplished if the client understands and accepts that he has a problem. This is often difficult because
The Holocaust has become the worst event in human history but why did it happen? Mein Kampf was written by who many would consider one of the evilest men to walk the earth; a man whose ideas committed one of the worst crimes in all of the man kinds history on this earth. Adolf Hitler with only his voice took the lives of millions of homosexuals, gypsies, blacks, disabled people and most of all Jewish people just for not being a part of what he viewed as the perfect race. Mein Kampf was used as an outline for the Holocaust and used against the already hurting Germany to effectively execute on of the vilest acts in history.
Adolf Hitler’s rise to power as the chancellor of Germany is one of history’s great political success stories. He was known to be an uneducated common soldier in World War I, who had been a failure in all in his undertakings. He eventually rose to power in 1933, in a country that was devastated both socially and politically. Within five years, he had given his nation stability and hope. They started to hail him as the leader and savior because he eradicated unemployment, stabilized the currency, provided social legislation, and reformed the military. He also built magnificent freeways and promised automobiles to every laboring man. If Hitler had died before World War II, he may well have been remembered as the greatest and one of the most outstanding leaders in German history. However, later on his political career, he ordered and also committed atrocities like the order for the extermination Jews and the elimination of every potential enemy in the occupied Eastern territories. He was fully aware of mass executions of Jewish civilians in these territories that make him one of the most monstrous leaders in world history. A look at his benevolent work at the beginning of his political career and his malevolence at the peak and towards the end of his life lead us to view him in two perspectives; thus he seemed to be once a mentally ill person and a brilliant political leader. I refuse to see him from just one perspective since he was human and he had evil in him. In the book, Psychopathic God by Robert Waite, a leading German Biographer, A. J. P. Taylor has come to the conclusion that Hitler was “a neurotic character who was imprisoned by an overpowering neurotic psychosis” (Waite xvi).
Adolf Hitler was born in Austria-Hungary on April 20, 1889, to mother, Klara Hitler, and father, Alois Hitler; a German by blood.

Centuries later and the name Adolf Hitler still rings volumes till this present day: discussed in history books, talked about amongst intellects and commoners alike, and despised by many for years to come. Upon hearing his name many may think of all the negative things Hitler has done, but few fail to analyze just how one man created such controversy amongst a nation without being stopped. The question then lies how does a man reign over country and devastate it for years to come? Adolf Hitler, a man who excelled in persuasion and charisma was able to reign over Germany for years. Born in Austria April 20th 1889, Hitler grew up with many hardships in his life.
He could not do it alone and searched for help. That’s when the Nazis came into play, they loved everything he was saying about making Germany into a better country and by placing that target of the Jews that made it even more easier for him. They tried taking the government over by force and that did not work. Next Hitler ran for chancellor and he got it! He was such a good manipulator with his speaking that not to many peopled understood what he really wanted to do. They just wanted to have a better situation for their country and Hitler knew that. He knew he had to get rid of some rules and he slowly did it to the point he finally had full control. Once he was everything started going downhill. We all know how he captured most of the Jews and would kill them just to get them out. Who in their right mind would be so okay to have so many murders on their hands? A Psychopath or a serial killer would. {Search for information of serial killers and their
...one significant address open to question. Why would Hitler do such ghastly things, and how could his psyche uncovered doing these. Well Hitler as a young person had an exceptionally rough life. He was beaten as a youngster by his father. A great deal of his kin kicked the bucket. He was dropped out of school on the grounds that he missed so much school and got behind. To top everything of he battled his heart out in war, soon after he couldn't battle any longer, he heard that Germany surrendered. He was a very discouraged man.

The Silber Medal winning biography, “Surviving Hitler," written by Andrea Warren paints picture of life for teenagers during the Holocaust, mainly by telling the story of Jack Mandelbaum. Avoiding the use of historical analysis, Warren, along with Mandelbaum’s experiences, explains how Jack, along with a few other Jewish and non-Jewish people survived.
Adolf Hitler, an Austrian born German politician, a once decorated World War I veteran, the leader of Nazi Germany, the man responsible for the holocaust and millions of deaths, is without a doubt the most hated man of the 20th Century and arguably throughout the entire history of the human race. Adolf Hitler did many things throughout his lifetime that have affected the outcome of the world today, such as what he did to the Jewish people or how he attempted and almost succeeded in conquering the world. Most people know the main things that Hitler did because of how much they affected the world, but not as many people understand exactly how it was that this man rose to power in the first place. Adolf Hitler rose to power very quickly because
Hitler was always a different person, when he was nine, he was into evil stuff especially war, he became so intriged he became a German soldier, he was a solider during WW1, during WW1 he was blinded by a gas attack, later he found that Germany surrendered. He felt as if the Germans just gave up and wanted to lead a stronger regein. Many people who grew up to him and were close to his knew he was an odd kid, but he was also very short and strict, and in some ways polite. Then as he became older he took over as head nazi and exterminated over six million jews. Why would hitler want to kill inoccent people such as the Jews? He wanted to create "the perfect race" and his way of doing that was to kill everyone who was inperfect.
Behavioral theories are very significant, but the social learning theory by Albert Bandura is one of the most valuable and influential theory out of them all. The social learning theory analyzes how humans learn through observing other people’s attitudes and behaviors. Adolf Hitler was the dictator of Germany and he was the founder and conductor of the Nazi Party. Accordingly, Adolf Hitler is related to the social learning theory because his actions were related with his life struggle. Many people wonder why Hitler killed so many innocent lives and the reality is that no one will ever know, but the social learning theory by Albert Bandura can help people briefly understand why humans perform cruel and inhumane behaviors. This theory does not excuse nor does it permits Hitler’s malicious behavior, but it provides a psychological view to his unnatural actions. Adolf Hitler was the main cause of World War II and the Holocaust; he was responsible for about 11 million deaths and approximately 1 million were children. During the Holocaust the Nazis focused on executing the Jews, homosexuals, Jehovah’s Witnesses and disabled people. Moreover, Hitler also conducted the concentration camps, labor camps and extermination camps. In the camps Hitler kept as prisoners anyone who acted against him in any way and he also kept Jews. The concentration camp mainly forced people to do hard labor and slowly they would die of starvation, infections or murder; in the other hand, extermination camps were used to kill an immense cluster of people instantly. Also, Hitler permitted doctors that were part of the Nazi Party to performed medical experiments to the prisoners without their consent, basically the prisoners were used as lab rats and then they ...
