Editorial PolicyHistory of Psychology seeks to publish historical scholarship across the full range of psychological science and praxis. Our editorial view is that psychology as a topic encompasses the discipline and profession of psychology, as well as the use of psychological insights and expertise by the public.
The journal seeks to be inclusive in terms of chronology, open to scholarship on antiquarian topics as well as more recent eras. Inclusivity is also sought in geographic scope, both of authors and topics. By adding international perspectives, we hope to share in the exciting developments occurring in our field in many countries around the world. Doing so will help us realize the importance of cultural context in both science and practice. It may well be that our best and most direct way to understand the complexity of our globalizing world is to take a historical perspective. History of Psychology seeks to be at the forefront of providing that perspective.
New features of the journal include:
Teaching the History of Psychology, edited by one of America’s leading teachers of psychology, Barney Beins.
Sources, Research Notes, and News, edited by Kelli Vaughn-Blount. The purpose of this section is threefold. One, the section will serve to highlight archives, archival activity, and other resources for historical scholarship, such as newly discovered historical material. Two, the section will provide a venue for brief research notes and discussion of methodologies in historical research. The third purpose is to provide a place for news relevant to the history of psychology community, including recent publications, upcoming conferences, calls for papers, and member news about their awards, moves, and accomplishments.
From time to time, we will also publish essay reviews of important books that have influenced and shaped our understanding of the history of psychology.
