The development of Psychological society in Czechoslovakia in 1927-1952 can
be divided into following periods: 1. since its establishing in 1927 till
the world war II., 2. in the war time, 3. since 1945 till 1947, 4. since 19
48 till its extinction in 1952.
In the years 1927-1952, the Psychological society was under the strong infl
uence of different political systems. In totalitarian times (under the pres
sure of party orders and procedures), it was on the decline. In times of li
beralism, it was extensively developing, both professionally and intellectu
ally The periods of its activity in open conditions of the years 1927-1938
and 1945-1947 can be considered inspiring for today and tomorrow, the total
itarian periods can be considered the informative ones.
