A review of Włodzimierz Lengauer’s book Dionizos. Trzy szkice (Dionysus. Three Essays).

The Author of this review presents the newest book by Maciej Dymkowski on historical psychology. Paweł Jednacz recognizes historical psychology as a new discipline in Poland and he discusses its value from this point of view. The reviewer emphasises introductory character of the book. He pays special attention to Dymkowski's opinion on interrelations between history and psychology, as well as on the craft of a historian and psychologist. Jednacz agrees with the criticism expressed by the author towards psychohistory. He concludes that Dymkowski's work can be used as a textbook of historical psychology, at least until a new dissertation which will show more achievements, research tasks and methods in a fuller and wide-ranging way appears in print.
