Imre Sándor, a pedagógia professzora az 1920-as évek közepén felismerte, hogy külön intézetet kellene alapítani a pszichológiaoktatás számára a szegedi egyetemen. 1926 októberében felterjesztette kérelmét a bölcsészkari vezetés felé, Málnási Bartók György, a Filozófia Tanszék professzora támogatása mellett. 1929. december 18-án Klebelsberg Kuno vallás- és közoktatásügyi miniszter megalapította a Pedagógia Lélektani Intézetet a szegedi egyetemen, és kinevezte az új intézet élére Várkonyi Hildebrand Dezső (1988–1971) bencés paptanárt. Ezzel Magyarországon elsőként alakult pszichológiai intézet egyetemi kereteken belül. A cikk a szegedi lélektan intézményes történetét követi végig a Várkonyi vezette intézet megalakulásától napjainkig.

Alcoholics Anonymous is probably the most influential self-help organization in the world, with a current worldwide membership approaching 2 million. The origin of the organization has ties to Carl Gustav Jung and William James, 2 very prominent figures in the history of psychology. A brief history of the events that led to the formation of Alcoholics Anonymous is presented, with particular emphasis on the influence of Jung and James. An account of relevant life events of both Jung and James is provided, in addition to a summary of their views on alcoholism and its treatment. Speculation is offered on how the 2 men might view their unsolicited association with the organization.

In 1913 Lillien Jane Martin received an honorary Ph.D. from the University of Bonn, the first honorary degree conferred upon an American psychologist by that institution, for a series of innovative and pioneer experimental studies. Her research with G. E. Müller in psychophysics was called a “landmark in the history of experimental psychology” at that time. Martin was a multi-faceted individual who seemed to possess inexhaustable energy. She was an ardent feminist leader, a prolific psychologist, conscientious Stanford professor, and, at age 65, Martin became a consulting and clinical psychologist. It is interesting to note that for someone who contributed so much to the science of psychology, her long and productive career is relatively unknown to contemporary psychologists.

The language dimension of the interaction with world psychology, reflected in the contributions to the American Journal of Psychology, Psychological Review, Psychological Bulletin, and the Journal of Experimental Psychology, was one of the topics examined in a series of doctoral dissertations written in the 1980s at the University of Valencia under the direction of Prof. Helio Carpintero. The studies yielded information on well over 100,000 references. The present synthesis documents the trends toward a relative decrease in references to works written in French and German, and an increase in references to publications written in English. In the 20th century the percentage of references to “other” languages remained low throughout. While these facts are not “discoveries,” the evidence brought together is both novel and—within the limits of the sample—exhaustive.
