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.
