Scope and Content
Consists of Dichter's press releases and a file of articles and clippings which he designated as "Publicity". There is some overlap with the "Reprints" series of publications, but these articles for the most part publicize Dr. Dichter, the man and his work, rather than being formal statements of his findings and ideas. The two series thus document how Dichter sought to promote himself and his thought, and how and how much of himself he revealed to the general public at different times. Dichter's own formal press releases date from the 1940s through 1964. A lone survivor from 1975 indicates that he continued this process, but the post-1964 releases have been lost. The "Publicity" files are primarily from the 1960s and 1970s, a period in which Dichter was obliged to change with the times. A substantial portion of the "Publicity" files are in German, with smaller quantities in French and Spanish. The file on Russian publications contains a tamed-down English translation of a Soviet denunciation of Dichter published in Noyoye Vremya (New Times).
