In the second half of the twentieth century, the history of psychology in the United States gradually acquired an institutional footing. At the same time, turns in the history and philosophy of science, especially Kuhnian formulations, opened a horizon in which psychological historiography could no longer function as a mere chronicle of the past. Rather, it became a mechanism of disciplinary self-reflexivity, elevating history from a marginal, ancillary domain to a non-negotiable requirement for theory and professional practice. This shift, however, was neither self-evident nor instantaneous. Indeed, at its point of maturation, it generated critiques directed at psychology itself and at its historiographical forms, thereby placing their very possibility under sustained scrutiny.
The present essay articulates this trajectory by asking how history moves from an auxiliary role to a theoretical and professional necessity, and how that very necessity subsequently issues in crisis. Adopting a historical-analytic approach, it traces the transition from classical historiography of psychology to critical historiography and argues that this turn discloses the necessity of history along three interconnected horizons: first, the historicization of psychological concepts and subjectivities; second, the entanglement of language with psychological inquiry; and third, the linkage between psychology and power. Finally, the essay shows that while critical historiography enables a critique of naturalization and renders institutional presuppositions visible, it also proliferates accounts of the discipline’s origins and identity and intensifies disputes over standards of validity.
