Section editors: Pier Francesco Galli and Alberto Merini
This section of the journal Psicoterapia e Scienze Umane is devoted to materials (published or previously unpublished) that try to reconstruct a sort of history of psychology, psychiatry, and psychotherapy, at times with the emotional impact of anecdotes and far from academic historiography. This section follows these three lines: one line is the analysis of the developments of the various psychoanalytic stereotypes and of the way how theory of technique has been transmitted; the second line is the reconstruction of aspects of the Italian history of
the field, according to the viewpoint that has always characterized the group of
Psicoterapia e Scienze Umane; the third line is the publication of classic papers that are still relevant today.
