The four reports that follow embody the second installment of a series designed both to provide an orienting overview of education in the history of psychology to prospective students in the field and to characterize one highly significant aspect of the state of the discipline as the century ends. Like those included in the first series, each of these reports effectively conveys an awareness of a program's (or an individual professor's) goals and emphases and (in a number of cases) also provides a sense of how the particular program evolved since its creation. Such historically oriented self-presentations seem especially appropriate for a journal that focuses on psychology's past. Unlike the reports in the previous installment, however, these have had to be condensed, at times significantly, and one or two refer readers to their authors for specific additonal information. A final series of reports will appear in History of Psychology's next issue or (as I noted in the last issue), they will if those invited to submit them meet the journal's deadline.
接下来的四篇报告是一个系列的第二期内容。该系列旨在为该领域的准学生提供心理学史教育的定向概述,并在本世纪末刻画该学科状况的一个极具重要性的方面。与第一系列中的报告一样,这些报告中的每一篇都有效地传达了对一个项目(或一位教授个人)目标和重点的认识,并且(在许多情况下)还让人了解到特定项目自创建以来是如何发展的。这种以历史为导向的自我展示对于一本专注于心理学过去的期刊来说似乎特别合适。然而,与上一期的报告不同,这些报告有时不得不进行大幅精简,有一两篇报告还让读者向作者获取具体的额外信息。最后一系列报告将在下一期《心理学史》中发表,或者(正如我在上一期中所指出的),如果受邀提交报告的人能在期刊截止日期前完成,它们就会发表。
