A thesis is an aptitude test for students. The approval of the thesis is proof that the student has sufficient research and reporting skills to graduate but does not guarantee the quality of the research and the results of the research as such, and the thesis is therefore not necessarily suitable to be used as an academic source to refer to. If you would like to know more about the research discussed in this thesis and any publications based on it, to which you could refer, please contact the supervisor mentioned.
Abstract
The history of Psychology in the Dominican Republic in the 1950s and the 1960s is part of the beginnings of Psychology in the country. As different events took place, Psychology showed up in different contexts throughout both decades, from university courses, such as introduction to Psychology, to events such as the First Interamerican Congress of Psychology. These moments were key in the advancement of Psychology as they paved the way to the first departments of Psychology in 1967. Therefore, my research aims at recovering a neglected chapter in the history of psychology. My question asks: how did the discipline of Psychology become institutionalized in the Dominican Republic? By reviewing different sources, such as books created around those decades and articles covering the events of the time, this research aims to show the process Psychology underwent throughout the 1950s and the 1960s. Keywords: History of Psychology, Dominican Republic, Latin America, Caribbean
