Abstract: Psychology in Franco's Concentration Camps. During the Spanish Civil War, Antonio Vallejo Nagera, Chief Psychiatrist of Franco's army, directed a psychological research Cabinet to study the personality of concentration camp prisoners. Vallejo reported that the prisoners were characterized by a high rate of degenerative temperament, mediocre intelligence and innately revolutionary social personalities. He considered such personality traits to be typical of followers of antifascist and leftist ideologies. Vallejo statet that these traits were intensified in female prisoners due to the psychological inferiority of their sex. He concluded that the probability of obtaining a change in the political attitude of such individuals was very low.
