Contemporary Argentinian psychology has a unique characteristic: it is identified with psychoanalysis. Nonpsychoanalytic theories and therapies are difficult to find. In addition, there is an overt antiscientific attitude within many psychology programs. How should this be explained? In this paper, we claim that a philosophical history of psychology can shed new light on the development of Argentinian psychology by showing that early Argentinian psychoanalysts held positions in the newborn psychology programs and a distinctive stance toward scientific research in general and psychology in particular. In the absence of an explicit and articulate philosophical position, psychoanalysts developed an implicit meta‐theory that helped shape the context that led to the institutionalization and professionalization of psychology in Argentina. Although we do not establish or even suggest a monocausal link between their ideas and the current state of Argentinian psychology, we do claim that their impact should be explored. Finally, we discuss some limitations of our study and suggest future complementary investigations.

阿根廷作为精神分析的心理学:哲学问题的一些历史起源(1942-1964)

当代阿根廷心理学有一个独特的特点:它与精神分析相一致。非精神分析理论和疗法很难找到。此外,在许多心理学课程中存在明显的反科学态度。这应该如何解释?在本文中,我们声称心理学哲学史可以通过展示早期阿根廷精神分析师在新生儿心理学项目中担任职务以及对一般科学研究和特别是心理学的独特立场,为阿根廷心理学的发展提供新的启示。在缺乏明确和清晰的哲学立场的情况下,精神分析师开发了一种隐含的元理论,帮助塑造了导致阿根廷心理学制度化和专业化的背景。虽然我们没有在他们的想法与阿根廷心理学的现状之间建立甚至暗示单一因果关系,但我们确实声称应该探索它们的影响。最后,我们讨论了我们研究的一些局限性,并建议未来的补充调查。
