Clever Hans Eysenck and the Light Blue Fringe

Eysenck believed that he was undervalued by a 'Light Blue Fringe' of the British Psychological Establishment. His biographers choose not to question this view and imply that deliberate neglect caused him personal pain, muffled the impact of his work and so obstructed the development of scientific psychology in Britain during the 20th century. An alternative view is that in so far as Eysenck was neglected this was because his scientific insights were weakened by his failure to recognise and assimilate the fundamental changes in psychology that occurred during his working lifetime.
