Abstract
We review the disordered local moment picture of itinerant electron paramagnets. Noting its failure to describe Ni in a first principles calculation we develop the conceptual framework to include an account of the Onsager cavity field in the paramagnetic state. We illustrate the resulting theory by explicit calculations for the Curie temperatures TcFe and TcNi and the susceptibilities χFe(q) andχNi(q).
