Associated Medical Services, Incorporated: a history

چکیده
She may be right, but her case is not wholly convincing, partly because Schallmayer is the only figure discussed in detail and partly because the evidence respecting other figures is in fact ambiguous. Weiss asserts that Schallmayer's views were representative of Wilhelmine eugenicists. However, from the evidence of her book, one could conclude that the movement was actually characterized by a plurality of racial attitudes and thus that no one was typical. Fritz Lenz and Alfred Ploetz, for example, belonged to a secret "Nordic Ring" within the German Society for Race Hygiene. Weiss notes, only to dismiss, such apparent counter-examples, insisting that Schallmayer's views "permeated the thinking of other race hygienists, indeed the society as a whole". But her illustrative quotations indicate that she means by this only that other eugenicists accepted Schallmayer's "technocratic logic". Weiss has convincingly demonstrated that some important eugenicists, such as Schallmayer and Alfred Grotjahn, were anti-racist. That is an unexpected and important finding. But this reader, at least, still needs to be convinced that the same can be said for Wilhelmine eugenics as a whole. Diane B. Paul University of Massachusetts at Boston
