Abstract: | This work studies some of the functions of the foundational myths in the culture of conteporary psychology. Handbooks on General Psychology may be considered as a historical crystallisation of psychology's basic cultural components, promoting the idea of a unified, coherent and autonomous discipline. The recurrent presence of foundational stories or myths in this editorial genre is here interpreted as a symptom of the epistemological discomfort in which psychology develops from its origins. A significant sample of these handbooks is studied attending to three main points: (1) their general thematic organisation, (2) the placce and role of historical arguments in this organisation, and (3) the function of foundational stories within historical arguments. The results of our analisys are discussed in the ground of the general debate between internal and external history Mythos, Psycological discipline, Psychology. |
