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.

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.

Psychology as taught in Ghanaian universities is largely Eurocentric and imported. Calls have been made to indigenize psychology in Ghana. In response to this call, this paper attempts to construct a history of psychology in Ghana so as to provide a background for the study of the content and process of what psychology would and/or ought to become in Ghana. It does so by going as far back as the University of Sankore, Timbuktu established in 989AD where intellectual development flourished in the ancient Empire of Mali through to the 1700s and 1800s when Black Muslim scholars established Koranic schools, paying particular attention to scholarly works in medicine, theology and philosophy. Attention is then drawn to Anton Wilhelm Amo’s dissertation, De Humanae Mentis “Apatheia” and Disputatio Philosophica Continens Ideam Distinctam (both written in 1734) as well as some 18th and 19th century Ghanaian scholars. Special mention is also made about the contributions by the Department of Psychology at the University of Ghana (established in May 1967) in postcolonial Ghana as one of the first departments of psychology in Anglophone West Africa. The paper also discusses the challenges associated with the application of psychological knowledge in its current form in Ghana and ends by attempting to formulate the form an indigenous Ghanaian psychology could to take.
