The Psychologische Rundschau is a scientific journal with a focus on interdisciplinary psychology . It was one of the first professional journals for psychology in Germany to appear after 1945 (or to appear again) and has been the official organ of the German Society for Psychology (DGPs) since it was re-established after 1945.
content
Theoretical and methodological developments in the field of psychology are explained in the Psychological Review. The focus is on work that reflects general theoretical and methodological points of view and also represents provocative positions.
There is also a discussion of new ideas in the journal. In addition, the integration of basic research and application is a central goal of the journal. A report section deals with current professional and scientific policy issues. In addition to the scientific information, the Psychological Rundschau as the news organ of the German Society for Psychology and the Professional Association of German Psychologists also publishes news and dates from these professional associations. Reviews of psychological tests based on the TBS-TK system are also published.
history
The Psychological Rundschau has been published quarterly by Hogrefe Verlag (Göttingen) since 1949 . In 1949 the German Society for Psychology was re-established in the western zones of Germany and the magazine was founded as its organ. Carl Jürgen Hogrefe was involved as a university assistant in the preparation of the first post-war congress in Göttingen in 1948 and there was a need for a publication organ. The risk was too high for the publishers in question, the publisher of the former organ of the society, the Zeitschrift für Psychologie, was located in the eastern zone of Germany and therefore Hogrefe himself became the first editor and publisher. The first editor was Gustav von Allesch , at whose chair Hogrefe was employed. From this activity, too, Hogrefe later founded the Hogrefe Verlag. The journal Psychological Research appeared again in May 1949.
