Apesar de suas contribuições ao desenvolvimento da psicologia experimental nos EUA, suas ideias foram gradativamente abandonadas após sua morte e seu sistema tornou-se vítima de interpretações parciais, que ignoram aspectos importantes de sua trajetória intelectual. Duas questões centrais sobressaem neste cenário: a relação entre as concepções de Titchener e o empiriocriticismo, e as mudanças em seu projeto psicológico. Partindo da hipótese de que a psicologia de Titchener refletiu as transformações em sua perspectiva filosófica, o presente estudo procurou oferecer, com base em fontes primárias inéditas, uma interpretação abrangente do percurso intelectual do autor, elucidando aspectos até aqui não esclarecidos e que permanecem mal compreendidos na literatura secundária. Para tanto, o trabalho foi dividido em 4 capítulos. Após apresentação do problema e dos procedimentos adotados na pesquisa, que ocupam a introdução, o capítulo 1 trata do contexto formativo de Titchener em Oxford e em Leipzig, com especial atenção para o cenário institucional e intelectual britânico, que exerceu significativa influência sobre o autor. O capítulo 2 apresenta as características da concepção inicial de psicologia de Titchener, identificando a influência de suas convicções originais sobre questões centrais de sua proposta. O capítulo 3 discute a consolidação de seu projeto de psicologia, apresentando o reposicionamento de Titchener em relação à filosofia e seus novos pressupostos. O capítulo 4 trata do desenvolvimento tardio de sua obra e das reinterpretações apresentadas pelo autor em seu projeto. Na conclusão, é retomada a trajetória do projeto de psicologia de Titchener face às questões centrais do estudo e algumas considerações gerais sobre a natureza do seu trabalho são apresentadas. / Developed between the end of the 19th century and the two first decades of the 20th century, Titchener’s psychological project is still misinterpreted. Despite his contributions to the development of experimental psychology in the USA, his ideas were gradually abandoned after his death, and his system began to be interpreted in a fragmentary way, ignoring crucial aspects of his intellectual trajectory. Two central questions are of utmost importance: the relation between Titchener’s ideas and empiriocriticism, and the changes introduced by Titchener in his psychological project throughout his career. Assuming that his psychology reflects transformations in his philosophical perspective, the central goal of this work is to offer, based on new primary sources, a comprehensive interpretation of Titchener’s intellectual trajectory, elucidating aspects that have been hitherto only partially approached and remain poorly understood in the secondary literature. After the presentation of the research problem and methodological procedures in the introduction, chapter 1 displays the institutional and intellectual context of Titchener’s education in Oxford and Leipzig. Chapter 2 discusses Titchener’s first psychological project and the impact of his first assumptions. Chapter 3 presents the consolidation of his psychological project, showing Titchener’s change of mind in relation to philosophy and his new theoretical assumptions. Chapter 4 deals with the late development of his work as well as his reinterpretations. The conclusion resumes Titchener’s intellectual path and finishes with some general considerations regarding the nature of his work.

Tendo em vista as aproximações equivocadas entre os autores presentes nos manuais de psicologia e a escassez de estudos mais sistemáticos acerca da obra de Titchener, em especial no cenário nacional, as comparações entre as idéias de ambos, disponíveis na literatura secundária, ainda não foram suficientes para demonstrar as diferenças entre suas propostas. Frente a este panorama, propõe-se uma comparação das definições de objeto e método da psicologia, especificamente nas obras que representam o período de maturidade das idéias de Wundt, com aquelas que caracterizam a expressão clássica do estruturalismo de Titchener. A tese central é que, em função dos distintos pressupostos teóricos, as noções de experiência humana e do domínio do psíquico adquirem um diferente significado no pensamento de cada autor, configurando com isso diferentes objetos de estudo para a psicologia e, consequentemente, uma diferente compreensão acerca das possibilidades e limites do método experimental. / The aim of this work is to compare the definitions of subject and method introduced in Wilhelm Wundt‟s and Edward Titchener‟s projects of experimental psychology. Considering the mistaken proximity between the authors which is found in handbooks of psychology and the shortage of more systematic studies about Titchener‟s work, especially in the Brazilian context, the comparisons between the ideas of both authors, available in the secondary literature, they still have not been sufficient to demonstrate the differences between their proposals. Due to this situation, it is proposed a comparison of the definitions of subject and method in psychology, specifically in the works which represent the period of maturity of Wundt‟s ideas, with those ones which characterize the classical expression of Titchener‟s structuralism. The central thesis is, in function of the distinct theoretical assumptions, the notions of the human experience and the realm of the psychic acquire a different meaning in the thought of each author, forming this way different subjects of study and, consequently, a different understanding about the possibilities and limits of the experimental method.

This thesis is concerned with the introduction and development of western psychology in New Zealand during the period 1869 – 1929. The foundations of psychology coincided with the early foundations of the country and the building of the first university colleges. The evolving colonial university system provided opportunity but also institutional limitations on the development of the subject. Sir Thomas Hunter introduced experimental psychology and established the first psychology laboratory in 1907 at Victoria College. Hunter was supported in this by his American based mentor, Edward B. Titchener. Hunter played an important role in campaigning for university reform and worked tirelessly to promote both the study and application of psychology. This thesis argues that historic global and local events were crucial to the development and advancement of psychology in New Zealand. World War 1 ended in 1918 and was followed by a deadly flu epidemic. These events led to new theories and developments in psychology, many of which were imported to New Zealand and adapted to suit local needs. Local changes in approaches to health care and social management opened opportunities for a professional role in psychology. Throughout the 1920’s psychologists expanded their field of influence and began to develop applications for psychological knowledge. By 1929, psychology had become firmly established as a discipline worthy of individual attention. New Zealand had not yet begun to produce significant psychological research but provided a unique host society in which, in the space of sixty years, the study of psychology was introduced and developed and largely kept pace with international advances.
