J Hist Behav Sci. 1977 Jan;13(1):33-40. doi: 10.1002/1520-6696(197701)13:1<33::aid-jhbs2300130104>3.0.co;2-6.

Abstract

In the context of a world-wide coverage of contemporary historiography of psychology, a descriptive account is presented of major recent events and of publications, grouped into five categories: original works, new editions, editions of the classics of science, readings, and translations. The younger generation tends to combine historical analysis with critical assessment (studio storico-critico), taking into account significance for psychological theory and implications for human affairs.
