Tribute to a pioneer of scientific psychology in Peru

Abstract

A prolific researcher in many areas of psychology, whose tenacity, rigor and optimism for life are clearly observable characteristics in his work throughout his years, Reynaldo Alarcón is one of the scientists who has most influenced current Peruvian psychology (Caycho, 2013). To celebrate Dr. Alarcón's 90th birthday, David Jauregui, Ramón León and Miguel Ángel Rodríguez Rea, with the support of the Ricardo Palma University, have published a book in homage to his life and work in the field of psychological research, bringing together a series of Peruvian and foreign researchers.
