Toward the Globalization of Psychology. The Congresses Around the World (1974–1998)

Abstract

This book introduces the history of psychology during the past hundred years, mainly through conferences/congresses. In fact, for psychologists, the creation of international conferences was seen as a useful step in exchanging and promoting psychology as a science. Since the first international congress in 1889, psychologists from all over the world have met regularly at congresses with more and more attendees and many interesting topics to discuss.
