    Storia e “crisi” della Psicologia scientifica in Italia [The History and “Crisis” of Scientific Psychology in Italy] (Milan: LED, 2014), edited by Giovanni Pietro Lombardo, Professor of the History of Psychology at the Department of Dynamic and Clinical Psychology, “Sapienza” University of Rome, offers a multidimensional analysis of the construct of “crisis” in the context of scientific psychology in Italy. The book is the first historical account of the “crisis” in Italian psychology to approach the subject from multiple perspectives: philosophical-epistemological, scientific, and institutional. This integrative approach is essential for the proper interpretation of a historiographical construct (Cimino, 2014). The idea for a book dedicated to the “crisis” in Italian psychology arose from the recognition that although there have been numerous meetings and events related to the crisis in psychology, both primary sources and secondary Italian sources are largely ignored in the international literature. The intention was to analyze the crisis from the historiographical perspective of continuity– discontinuity through investigation of internal and external history

    This article aims to present the psychological clinical approach in the criminals’ study as it emerged in the work of the argentine psychologist Josè Ingegnieros (1877-1925). We highlight how Ingegnieros’s work in the early twentieth century focused on the clinical observation of criminals and formed the basis of the classification he developed. His method of classifying delinquents was based on how the different modes of functioning of the psyche can lead to crime. His clinical psychological approach to the study of delinquents was the subject of his participation at the International Congress of Psychology held in Rome in 1905. From our historical analysis of Ingegnieros’ main works, an innovative approach emerges with respect to his contemporary context at a time when most studies of criminals took an anthropological or sociological perspective
