Miki Takasuna's paper on "Proliferation of Western Methodological Thought in Psychology in Japan: Ways of Objectification" offers many significant clues for reconsidering the history and unity of psychology. Its treatment of the reception of psychology in Japan hints at the relevance of the models of the subject for psychology--including the allegedly "official" psychology. The aim of this paper is to suggest such reconsideration, on the basis of a distinction between psychology-importing and psychology-exporting countries, and provide a reflection on the cultural problems of assimilation by the latter of a discipline advanced by the former. This perspective leads us to acknowledge the existence of a variety of psychological programs corresponding to the transformation and modernization of different social realities. Also, an indication is offered of several possible levels of analysis of such programs, which are seen to be related with the emergence of psychology as the science of modernity.
高砂美纪关于《西方方法论思想在日本心理学界的传播：客观化方式》的论文为重新审视心理学的历史与统一性提供了诸多重要线索。其对心理学在日本被接受情况的论述暗示了主体模型与心理学的相关性，其中包括所谓的“官方”心理学。本文旨在基于心理学输入国与输出国的区分提出这种重新审视，并对后者吸收前者所发展的学科时出现的文化问题进行反思。这一视角引导我们认识到，存在着与不同社会现实的转变和现代化相对应的各种心理学项目。此外，还指出了对这些项目进行分析的几个可能层面，这些层面被认为与作为现代性科学的心理学的出现相关。
