Clio and the Doctors: Psycho History, Quanto History, & History by Jacques Barzun

Paperback. Condition: Good+. 1974. University of Chicago Press.

The spreading vogue of psycho-history and what the author has christened "quanto-history" raises fundamental questions of theory and practice about both history and the new methods applied to it. In this work Jacques Barzun presents his credo as a historian, criticizing the "new" techniques and contrasting them with his idea of the true spirit of historical inquiry.

Psychohistory is the study of history through psychology.
