    As an editorial note, throughout this chapter we will encounter descriptions of people from the perspective of eugenics. For example, eugenics differentiated people on the grund of human characteristics that eugenicists decided were desirable or undesirable. As a result, people who had eugenically desired traits were labelled as “high-quality” or “superior” compared to people who had eugenically undesired traits, who were labelled as “low-quality” or “inferior”. These and other similar descriptors of human beings will sometimes be used in this chapter for the purpose of describing dehumanizing aspects of eugenics ideology.

    Eugenics, psychology and the cognitive sciences

    If you are interested in learning more about a critical history of psychology, I highly recommend Guthrie (2004)’s “Even the rat was white: A historical view of psychology”, first published in 1976.
