细节题。文章第三段第三句提到But this pragmatic use of psychology is not what psychohistorians intend“这种对心理学的实用主义的应用不是历史心理学家想要的”,可知接下来要说的即是他们所用的方法,本段第五句提到Psychohistory derives its “facts” not from history … but from psychoanalysis of the individuals who made history, and deduces its theories not from this or that instance in their lives, but from a view of human nature that transcends history,即心理历史学家是通过分析那些创造历史的人以及人的本性上来看的。D项“一系列塑造事件的不变的心理学规律”,这里“塑造事件的”即指的“创造历史的人”,“心理学规律”即是“人的本性”,因此D项正确。
