Hans Eysenck - scientific scandal?


Hans Eysenck comes under fire – again. Stephen Fleischfresser reports.

In February of this year, a critical review in the Journal of Health Psychology prompted one of its editors to publish open letters calling for a formal investigation of one of the most influential and heavily cited psychologists of all time, the oft controversial Hans Eysenck.
Recently, Retraction Watch managed to lay hands on the report of such a formal investigation carried out in May by Eysenck’s long-time employer, King’s College London.
Taken together, these documents point to what Anthony Pelosi, a psychiatrist with the UK’s National Health Service in Glasgow and Honorary Professor at the University of Glasgow, calls “one of the worst scientific scandals of all time.”/.../
