This article analyzes the views of 3 Dutch physicians working in the former Dutch East Indies during the first part of the 20th century. These physicians based ideas about the nature of the normal indigenous psyche on both their analysis of Indonesian individuals suffering from mental illness and on casual observations that represented widely shared cultural stereotypes. On that basis, they advocated a psychological colonial policy, which was to be based on a scientific understanding of the psyche of the Indonesian people. Using these ideas, they advocated political repression, justified inequality and racism, and limited educational opportunities for Indonesians. Representatives of the Indonesian nationalist movement vigorously protested against these ideas.
本文分析了20世纪上半叶在荷属东印度群岛工作的3位荷兰医生的观点。这些医生关于正常本土心理本质的观点，既基于他们对患有精神疾病的印尼人的分析，也基于代表广泛共享文化刻板印象的偶然观察。在此基础上，他们倡导一种心理殖民政策，该政策将基于对印尼人民心理的科学理解。利用这些观点，他们主张政治镇压，为不平等和种族主义辩护，并限制印尼人的教育机会。印尼民族主义运动的代表强烈抗议这些观点。
