First edition. Slim pamphlet, stapled binding. 18.5 × 12.5cm, 22pp

Delivered in April 1946, Dr. Gerhard Adler’s Psychology and the Atom Bomb is a pioneering depth-psychological response to the dawn of the nuclear era. Adler argues that the physical splitting of the atom mirrors an acute splitting within the modern psyche, where hyper-rational scientific advancement has outpaced moral and spiritual maturity. Demonstrating how repressed unconscious shadow forces become projected into weapons of total destruction, he asserts that political regulations are insufficient without an urgent internal transformation. A landmark post-war paper bridging early Jungian theory, existential threat, and pastoral responsibility.
