Following the Second World War, Adorno et al.’s The Authoritarian Personality (1950/2019) became the most influential engagement between Frankfurt School critical theorists and the field of psychology. The recent publication of Adorno's retracted “Remarks on The Authoritarian Personality” (2019) provides a timely impetus to reexamine and challenge certain long‐held ideas about Adorno's contribution to psychology—for instance that The Authoritarian Personality reduces complex social phenomena to individual motivation and personality. Adorno's Remarks provide an alternative approach to the usual reading of The Authoritarian Personality, where the psychology of authoritarianism points to a contradiction at the very core of the concept of psychology, aligning the study with Adorno's more critical and dialectical works. In this article, I challenge how Adorno and The Authoritarian Personality are commonly taken up in critical psychology and introduce “negative psychology” as Adorno's central contribution to the field modeled in his reading of psychoanalysis and his theory of negative dialectics. Reframed in this way, Adorno can continue to serve as a crucial site of critical engagement for psychologists.

阿多诺的消极心理

第二次世界大战后，阿多诺（Adorno）等人的《威权人格》（The Authoritarian Personality，1950/2019）成为法兰克福学派批判理论家与心理学领域之间最具影响力的交流活动。最近阿多诺收回“的注释出版的权威人格”（2019）提供了一个及时的推动重新审视和挑战某些关于阿多诺的心理学，比如贡献长期持有的观念的权威人格减少了复杂的社会现象，以个人动机和个性。阿多诺的言论为通常阅读《独裁者性格》提供了一种替代方法威权主义的心理学指出了心理学概念最核心的矛盾之处，使该研究与阿多诺的更为批判和辩证的著作相吻合。在本文中，我向批判心理学中的阿多诺和独裁人格提出了挑战，并介绍了“消极心理学”作为阿多诺对心理分析和消极辩证法理论的榜样的主要贡献。以这种方式改组后，Adorno可以继续充当心理学家进行批判性参与的重要场所。
