Abstract: The article focuses on the life and contributions of Robert Jay Lifton, M.D., who passed away on September 4, 2025, at the age of 99. Lifton was a prominent research psychiatrist known for his extensive work in psychohistory, having published 32 books and numerous articles on topics including trauma, war, and the psychology of extreme conditions. He played a significant role in advocating for the inclusion of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in the DSM-III and was vocal about the moral responsibilities of mental health professionals in addressing inhumane acts. Lifton's research explored the psychological impacts of exposure to death and the dynamics of truth and falsehood in society, particularly in relation to authoritarianism.
