Abstract
The present paper presents a psycho-historical analysis of Adolf Hitler with reference to multiple psychological theories which attempts to briefly elucidate the contributing personality and psychsocial development factors that likely contributed to the development of severe psychopathology. It is argued that it is highly probable Adolf Hitler suffered from a multitude of severe psychological disorders including paranoid schizophrenia and narcisstic personality disorder. It is hoped that presenting such a profile of Adolf Hitler's personality and psychopathology will be helpful in understanding what motivated his horrific acts.
