Scope and Content
Consists of offprints of journal articles or copies and clippings of magazines and newspapers. During his practice, Dichter maintained a file of these for sale or distribution to clients, of which a maximum of three copies has been retained. Dichter published in a very wide variety of venues, from the Harvard Business Review and sociological journals, through obscure trade and professional journals, to TV Guide, Cosmopolitan, Penthouse, and the National Enquirer. Some articles are derived directly from the research studies.
Individual publications of some length or note have also been cataloged as separate items on Hagley's on line public catalog (OPAC).
Arrangement
The series is arranged according to the original numbers assigned to them by Dr. Dichter, although this is not strictly chronological. Some of the earliest writings, including an article on commercial psychology that Dichter wrote in 1937 while still in France, are in the last box of the series. There are several indexes created by Dr. Dichter to manage sales of the reprints, which are placed at the beginning of the series.
