Ibero-American Psychology in Memory

Abstract

Who in the world of Latin American psychology has never heard of Rubén Ardila, Reynaldo Alarcón or Horacio Rimoldi? His books and ideas have been well known, disseminated and respected. All sciences have their archetypal figures. Ibero-American psychology also has its great figures and in this gallery, each of the psychologists we find in the book "History of Ibero-American Psychology in Autobiographies", which we are now commenting on, occupy an important place. The book edited by Hugo Klappenbach (Argentine psychologist and one of the most important historians of psychology) and Ramón León (Peruvian psychologist with a long career in historical research), who have been in charge of compiling the autobiographical texts and writing the introductory text, is about a genre little cultivated in the psychological literature of this part of the world: autobiography. The book compiles ten autobiographies of some of the most important Latin American psychologists.
