Abstract

Early in his career, Piaget had a great interest in psychoanalysis. He studied psychoanalysis, was analyzed, performed analyses, attended psychoanalytic conferences, and was a member of the “Swiss Psychoanalytic Society.” In 1919, he delivered a lecture in Paris on the pedagogical trends in psychoanalysis. In this lecture, Piaget discussed fundamental assumptions of Freud’s theories, criticized some of them, and stressed the importance of psychoanalysis for the psychology of intelligence and pedagogy. Even though many publications discuss the relationship between Piaget and psychoanalytic theory, his views on psychoanalysis in the early period of his career have not yet been systematically approached in Piagetian scholarship. The objective of this article is to present and discuss the main topics of the 1919 conference in order to rescue this little-remembered episode in the history of psychology and of education and to contribute to the understanding of how Piaget’s reception of psychoanalysis took place.
