The Institute of Psychology is a graduate school of psychology and constitutes the department of psychology of the Paris Cité University. It is currently located at the Centre Henri-Piéron, 71 avenue Édouard-Vaillant, Boulogne-Billancourt. Being the birthplace of French psychology, the institute was founded in 1920 by Henri Piéron, with the mission of providing psychology education and a center for research.[1] It is the oldest psychology-specific education institution in France.[2] The last three stories of the 6-stories building are assigned to research laboratories, and the basement hosts the oldest psychology-dedicated library in France (which received the CollEx label of excellence).[3]
History
[edit]Created in 1920 by Henri Piéron, the Institute of Psychology is the first university institute (the term 'institute', as opposed to 'school', underlines the important focus on research activity)[4] of the University of Paris.[5] It was meant to gather psychologists from the University of Paris, the Collège de France, and the Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes, and delivered a one-year diploma of psychological studies with specialities in "Psychology", "Pedagogy", or "Applied Psychology".
In 1947, Daniel Lagache implements a two-year psychology bachelor's degree with specialities in "General Psychology", "Child Psychology", "Social Life Psychology", and "Psychophysiology".
In 1959, the institute moves to the building of the Sociétés savantes , on Serpente street.
In 1965, Paul Fraisse becomes the institute's director.[inconsistent]
In 1999, as part of a plan to regroup all the research laboratories scattered across Paris, the institute gets transferred to its current location in Boulogne-Billancourt.
In 2020, the Institute of Psychology joins the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities of the Paris Cité University.
