Aftermath: The Impact of Johannes Linschoten

Linschoten’s death complicated the reactions to his work, especially to his Idolen van de Psycholoog (Idols of the Psychologist). In this chapter, we concentrate on the responses to his work, considering the context. Due to its controversial, if not contentious, communication, Idolen figures primarily within the reactions. In Sect. 10.1 we begin with the effect of Idolen and the broader context influencing how readers interpreted Idolen. Next, we discuss the national impact (Sect. 10.2) and the international impact as far as relevant (Sect. 10.3). In the Conclusion (Sect. 10.4), we summarize this impact.
