摘要:Critical scientific actualization and evaluation of Tomašlč's works is not only an important undertaking for Croatian sociology, but also for other humanistic and social sciences including contemporary psychiatry. It is from this perspective that the development and psychology of different personality types to be found in the two dominant culture types prevalent in Balkan societies are analyzed. Personality features in tribal communities correspond to some categories of psychopathic personality disturbances, but the even bigger problem is in the transition of these dispositions into real behaviour, which often becomes provoked by external circumstances. Tomašić is thus important for his recognition of this psychiatric risk dimension of "tribally" structured personalities on the individual level as well as on the level of broader society. Indicating also Tomašić's description of the "hajdučko-uskočki" (outlaw-runaway) cultural model, the author argues that his 1936 analysis had already clearly demonstrated all the relevant reasons for the breaking out of today's war in the area of former Yugoslavia. ln the end, the author discusses the problem of transformation of character structures with negative "tribal" features into democratic, politically mature groups and individuals.
