“…The International Committee of Psychology decided in Copenhagen that the next international congress, the 11th, should be held in Madrid in 1936. The Congress in Madrid did not take place, because by 1936, Spain was engulfed in a bloody civil war, with Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union also playing their part (Carpintero & Lafuente, 2008). The international committee then decided to move the congress to Paris for the following year (Rosenzweig et al, 2000).…”

The Tenth International Congress of Psychology, held in Copenhagen in late August of 1932, was the last International Congress held before events leading up to World War II came to interfere with the course of the congresses. Despite the difficult times, primarily because of the Great Depression and the fragile political situation, the congress nevertheless managed to bring together participants from many countries, thus emphasizing the international profile of psychology. The 1932 congress was characterized by the wide range of topics presented and discussed. A book of proceedings, containing all the papers delivered, was planned but never appeared, as the organizers of the congress were unable to obtain funds required for the publication. Therefore, relatively little has been written about the congress. The congress, however, aroused great interest in the Danish newspapers. Many participants took part in interviews, casting an interesting light on their approaches to psychology. The newspaper reports, along with archival sources, make it possible to describe the course of the conference. It clearly emerges that psychology had, by this time, shed the narrow experimental focus of its earliest decades. The gathering clouds of international unrest had some effects on the course of the congress. Shortly after the congress, the careers and even the lives of many of the participants faced serious challenges. (PsycINFO Database Record

“…The relationship between psychology and aesthetics has been the topic of several publications (Cagigas, 2002, 2004; Castro, Pizarroso, & Morgade, 2005; Lafuente, 2005a; Morgade, 2000; Sánchez & Ramos, 2009). Notice should also be given to those investigations dealing with the reception of Western psychology in non-Western countries (Castro & Lafuente, 2007) and the institutional development of psychology, with special attention to applied psychology (Carpintero, 2006; Carpintero & Herrero, 2002; Carpintero & Lafuente, 2008).…”

History of psychology has been an extremely active field for many years in Spain. Both the great expansion of psychological studies and the inclusion of history as a compulsory subject in the psychology curriculum are crucial factors helping to understand the current state of affairs. The aim of this paper is to provide a survey of the work done in this area over the last decade, covering research, teaching, and institutional developments. The study includes consideration of aspects such as main research lines, major theoretical and methodological trends, teaching materials, relevant archives and exhibits, and significant websites.

“…The Spanish Civil War halted the development of Spanish scientific psychology. The International Congress of Psychology, which was to take place in Madrid in September 1936, had to be cancelled after the outbreak of hostilities (Carpintero & Lafuente, 2008;Montoro & Quintanilla, 1982). Three years later, the Republican defeat forced the leaders of the profession to go into exile abroad.…”

In the late 1930s, the Institute of Human Relations of Yale University developed a research program on conflict and anxiety as an outcome of Clark Hull's informal seminar on the integration of Freud's and Pavlov's theories. The program was launched at the 1937 Annual Meeting of the APA in a session chaired by Clark L. Hull, and the experiments continued through 1941, when the United States entered the Second World War. In an effort to apply the findings from animal experiments to the war situation, John Dollard and Neal E. Miller decided to study soldiers' fear reactions in combat. As a first step, they arranged interviews with a few veterans of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade. Taking these interviews as a point of departure, Dollard devised a questionnaire to which 300 former Lincoln brigaders responded. The present paper analyzes the main outcomes of the questionnaire, together with the war experiences reported in the interview transcripts. Our purpose was to evaluate a project which was initially investigated by the FBI because of the communists among the Lincoln ranks, but eventually supported by the American Army, and which exerted great influence on the military psychology of the time.
