In the context of a world‐wide coverage of contemporary historiography of psychology, a descriptive account is presented of major recent events and of publications, grouped into five categories: original works, new editions, editions of the classics of science, readings, and translations. The younger generation tends to combine historical analysis with critical assessment ( studio storico‐critico ), taking into account significance for psychological theory and implications for human affairs.
