description

espanolLa creacion del COP tuvo enorme trascendencia para el establecimiento de la Psicologia y para dotarla de identidad. Desde la Ley de creacion en 1980, esta organizacion de caracter semipublico destinada a ordenar y representar la profesion no ha dejado de crecer, a pesar de graves problematicas internas y externas. El COP ha pasado por diversas etapas, que reflejan y al tiempo ayudan a caracterizar la corta historia disciplinar de la psicologia, sobre todo su definicion, frente a otras profesiones. El articulo ofrece una amplia revision legislativa y documental, sobre todo desde su revista portavoz, Papeles del Psicologo. Analiza sus complicados primeros anos, hasta 1993, bajo la direccion de Carlos Camarero y de Adolfo Hernandez, marcados por la configuracion interna de la Organizacion, una grave problematica profesional, y la lucha por conseguir la Licenciatura. EnglishThe creation of the Spanish Psychological Association (Spanish acronym, COP) was of enormous significance in the establishing of psychology in Spain, and in the creation of its identity. Since the publication of the 1980 Law of Creation [of the COP], this organization—aimed at regulating and representing the psychology profession—has not stopped growing, despite the serious internal and external issues it has had. The Spanish Psychological Association has gone through different stages over the past 40 years, which reflect and help us to characterize the short history of Spanish psychology, in particular the history of its delimitation with respect to other professions. This article presents an extensive legislative and documentary review, particularly based on its representative publication, Papeles del Psicologo/Psychologist Papers. We analyze the complicated early years, up to 1993, under the direction of Carlos Camarero and Adolfo Hernandez, a phase marked by the internal configuration of the organization, a serious challenge for the profession, and the fight to approve the master’s degree
