Italian psy-scientists in the archives of the political police

In the first half of the twentieth century, some of the most illustrious psychologists and psychoanalysts in Italy aroused suspicion of the political police for their professional and political activity. For this reason they were checked by the Public Security Division of the Interior Ministry. The oral presentation will mostly cover the description of the contents related to the files consulted in the fund of the Ministry of the Interior, at ACS in Rome. The contents emerged by the archival research will be integrated in a historical-cultural frame define by a further bibliographic research.
