60 \ears of Flinical Ssychology in Puerto Rico

Abstract

This article examines the history of clinical psychology in Puerto Rico since its beginnings in 1946, summarizing the events that led to the field’s emergence and looking closely at the sixty years of its subsequent development. The information presented is based on a review of publications, theses and dissertations, and interviews with professionals working in the field. The objective of this article is to raise awareness and interest in the many chapters that make up the history of psychology. Clinical psychology in Puerto Rico can reach new heights if its practitioners are aware of its history. Such awareness enables the creation of a socially informed discipline, firmly and conscientiously placed within the rich contexts of Puerto Rico.
