ABSTRACT:
J. F. Brown was one of the first Americans to study under Lewin in Germany. His 1936 textbook in social psychology was an attempt to integrate the ideas of Lewin, Freud, and Marx. Brown's central theme was that psychology was only valid when it was considered within a sociopolitical context. He therefore went beyond Lewin's interactional model to include objective social conditions in the Marxist tradition. Brown's Marxism was also wedded to the Soviet version, and he saw Russia in the 1930s as the ideal sociopolitical system. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate Brown's contributions to political psychology.
