Hans Eysenck was born during the First World War in Berlin, opposing the rise of Hitler in his childhood. He left the country, seeking exile in France then England. He studied under Sir Cyril Burt, obtained his Ph.D. during the Second World War, and soon thereafter founded the Psychological Department at the newly created Institute of Psychiatry. He was made Professor of Psychology in 1955. He introduced clinical psychology as a profession into the country, and his research into topics ranging from personality and intelligence to behavioural genetics, from social attitudes to behaviour therapy, brought him renown throughout the world. He also did work on such topics as the health hazards of smoking, the prophylactic effects of behaviour therapy on cancer and coronary heart disease, parapsychology, astrology and other matters.
