Crisis of Italian Psychology between history and statitistical methods
Xerrada conduïda per Maria Grazia Proietto.
Phd 'Sapienza' University of Rome.
Over the last years, crisis in psychology has emerged as a significant
theme in contemporary historiography. Nevertheless international
research somehow neglects contributions of Italian literature
illustrating a specific usage of 'crisis'.In particular, the Italian
approach utilizes crisis as a historiographical category, strongly
connected with periodizations proposed by historians.
This approach opens up some new and important questions: i.e.
is crisis in history of psychology a real crisis? If so, what period
historians consider as a crisis period? Which period of the normal
development of psychology was characterized by anomalies?
In order to answer these questions I analyzed the changes of
Italian psychological research between 1905 and 1970. Using
multidimensional scaling I will show how structures of psychology
transformed between 1905 and 1970 and I will propose new periodization
for history of Italian psychology.
