Psychologists "in the true sense of the word"

Patrizia Guarnieri

pp. 13-41

What did a scholar living in Italy in the early twentieth century need in order to be and to be considered a psychologist? The question is a first step toward identifying and quantifying this professional category, albeit rather approximately. It is a complex question, and we can try to give a partial response in specific contexts: scientific, academic, institutional, and professional community. These different contexts all help to construct an identity for psychology, and interact with one another and with other country-specific factors. They do not coincide or develop in parallel, and they sometimes contradict each other or conflict. Let us begin from where, how, and who studied psychology in Italy.
