Psychological Yearbook, Volume 1 - 1994 (Paperback)

The University of Copenhagen is 515 years old and psychology as an autonomous department in the University is 108 years old. There are two institutes -- Psychological Laboratory and the Institute of Clinical Psychology -- with 50 researchers and 1500 students. In the last decade of the twentieth century internationalisation is an increasing demand and in that perspective the University has decided to begin publishing a psychological yearbook. This first volume presents the University history and then presents three theses published in 1993. If you characterised Copenhagen-Psychology the word would be multiplicity. Many psychological schools and scientific traditions are represented; that means existence of traditional as well as current scientific educational and practice-inspired fields of problems as a focus for research. It is the intention of this volume to tell the reader about original and solid research built upon an innovative tradition, a legacy from experimental psychology and a phenomenological tradition through 100 years. It is due to this tradition that psychology has avoided the empiristic as well as the subjectivistic pitfall.
