On t.p.: Werkstuk vir die graad van Magister in Lettere en Wysbegeerte (Voorligtingsielkunde) / Thesis (MA)--Stellenbosch University, 2002. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: In this document specific attention was given to the foundation and
development of the Department of Psychology at the University of Stellenbosch
during the period 1917 to 1979. Furthermore, the role that the Department of
Psychology played in the development of psychology in South Africa has been
addressed.
The initial development of the Department of Psychology, important staff
appointments made by the Department as well as contributions made by
individuals was mentioned. The role that the Department played in the
development of Counselling Psychology, the development of the Clinical- and
Counselling Psychology courses, the approval of these courses and the
registration of psychologists are discussed. The services rendered by the
Department of Psychology, as well as research that have been done and the
role that the Department played in the South African context is also included in
this study.
The findings entailed that the Department had an important influence in the
development of psychology. The Department of Psychology at the University of
Stellenbosch is the oldest psychology department in South Africa. A strong
scientific and experimental approach was established in the Department.
Fundamental laboratory work formed the basis for a variety of internationally
acknowledged research studies and publications. The Department followed a
preventative approach in the training of professional psychologists. The first
grade course for the training of counselling psychologists in South Africa was
instituted at the Department. The Department also played a leading role in the
establishment of the University of Stellenbosch Bureau for Student Counselling.
The Department was often criticised for not being involved in socio-political
matters in the country during the apartheid era and that the research done by
the department was focused on sustaining the apartheid ideology. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: In hierdie werkstuk word die totstandkoming en groei van die Departement
Sielkunde aan die Universiteit van Stellenbosch tussen 1917 en 1979 sowel as
die rol wat die departement in die ontwikkeling van sielkunde in Suid-Afrika
gespeel het, bespreek.
Die totstandkoming van die Departement Sielkunde, belangrike personeel
aanstellings wat gemaak is en die belangrikste bydraes wat gelewer is, word
bespreek. Daar word ook aandag geskenk aan die rol wat die Departement in
die ontwikkeling van Voorligtingsielkunde gespeel het, die ontwikkeling van die
Kliniese- en Voorligtingsielkunde kursusse, die goedkeuring van dié kursusse
en registrasie van sielkundiges. Verder word gekyk na dienste wat deur die
Departement Sielkunde gelewer is, navorsingswerk wat gedoen is asook die
Departement se rol en betrokkenheid in die Suid-Afrikaanse konteks.
Daar word bevind dat die Departement 'n uiters belangrike rol in die
ontwikkeling van sielkunde gespeel het. Die Departement Sielkunde aan die
Universiteit van Stellenbosch is die oudste sielkunde departement in Suid-
Afrika. 'n Sterk wetenskaplike en eksperimentele inslag is van die begin af in
die Departement gevestig. Fundamentele laboratoriumwerk wat gedoen is, het
tot verskeie internasionaal erkende navorsingsaktiwiteite en publikasies gelei.
In die opleiding van professionele sielkundiges is 'n voorkomende benadering
deur die Departement gevolg. Die eerste graadkursus vir die opleiding van
voorligtingsielkundiges in Suid-Afrika is gevolglik ook by die Departement
ingestel. Die Departement het verder 'n leidende rol gespeel in die vestiging
van die Universiteit van Stellenbosch se Buro vir Studentevoorligting. Dit word
egter ten laste van die Departement gelê dat die Departement 'n mate van
onbetrokkenheid by die sosio-politiese strominge in die land gehad het en deur
sy vroeë navorsing bygedra het tot die grondlegging van die
apartheidsideologie.
