history
At the first post-war congress of the German Society for Psychology in Göttingen, the idea arose to publish a specialist journal with the task of promoting the networking of psychology in German-speaking countries. On October 1, 1949, the first issue of the magazine appeared under the name Psychologische Rundschau . The editor Gustav von Allesch delegated the design to his assistant Carl Jürgen Hogrefe . Since no other publisher wanted to take the risk of publishing this magazine, Hogrefe founded his own publishing house. Many university professors were among the contributors and supporters of the publishing idea, including Philipp Lersch , Kurt Gottschaldt , Wolfgang Metzger , Robert Heiss , Oswald Kroh , Friedrich Sander , Johannes Rudert and Hubert Rohracher .
The publication of the Psychological Rundschau was followed in 1952 by the first book Constitution and Development by Wilfried Zeller, and in 1953 the first psychological test procedure with the intelligence structure test (IST) by Rudolf Amthauer . In 1954 the test center was founded in Stuttgart, whose task was the controlled distribution of psychological test procedures to professionally qualified users. There was cooperation with the BDP in terms of test protection . Until 1955, Hogrefe still had a job at the University of Göttingen, from then on he concentrated entirely on building up the publishing house. In 1958 the first volume of the Handbuch für Psychologie was published, which was laid out in 12 volumes and was intended to give an up-to-date overview of knowledge in various sub-areas of psychology. Milestones in internationalization were the foundation of CJ Hogrefe Inc. in Toronto in 1974 and the acquisition of the Hans Huber publishing house in Bern in 1984.
