Abstract/Notes: The New Education Fellowship (NEF) is a subject matter widely examined by historiography of education, considering its conferences, as presented by Brehony in his best-known article, or related to educators and networks established in different countries, as addressed by Middleton, Haenggeli-Jenni, Watras, and others. However, this historiography is markedly limited to Europe, with some advances into Oceania and North America. With the aim of filling a gap in regard to the processes of establishment of networks between the NEF and South America, we intend to draw up a historical panorama of the initial years of creation of the NEF, from 1920-1930, taking the conference that occurred in Locarno, Switzerland, in 1927 as the inflection point. To review these networks in South America, the main sources are correspondence exchanged by South American educators, reports of conferences, and the journals The New Era and Pour l’Ére Nouvelle. / A New Education Fellowship é um objeto amplamente visitado pela historiografia da educação, considerando seus congressos, como apresentado por Brehony em seu artigo mais conhecido, ou relacionada a educadores e redes estabelecidas em diferentes países, como endereçado por Middleton; Haenggeli-Jenni; Watras, dentre outros. No entanto, esta historiografia está marcadamente circunscrita à Europa, com algumas incursões acerca da Oceania e América do Norte. Com o propósito de preencher uma lacuna no que se refere aos processos de constituição de redes entre a NEF e a América do Sul, pretendemos desenhar um panorama histórico compreendido nos anos iniciais da criação da NEF, entre 1920 e 1930, tomando o Congresso, ocorrido em Locarno, na Suíça, em 1927, como ponto de inflexão. Para retraçar essas redes na América do Sul, as principais fontes são correspondências trocadas por educadores sul-americanos, relatórios dos congressos e as revistas The New Era e Pour l’Ére Nouvelle. / La New Education Fellowship est un objet largement visité dans l'historiographie de l'éducation, pour l'intérêt suscité par ses congrès, comment présentée par Brehony dans son article le plus connu, ou liée aux éducateurs et aux réseaux établis dans différents pays, qui sont abordés dans les travaux de Middleton; Haenggeli-Jenni; Watras et autres.. On perçoit néanmoins que cette historiographie est nettement circonscrite en Europe, certains ouvrages se référant et à l’Océanie, et à l’Amérique du Nord. Nous proposons donc de créer un panorama historique permettant de comprendre le processus impliqué dans la formation de réseaux entre la NEF et l’Amérique du Sud dans les années 1920 et 1930, ayant comme point de repère le fameux congrès de la NEF à Locarno en 1927. Afin de reconstituer ces réseaux en Amérique du Sud, nos principales sources comprendront la correspondance entre les éducateurs sud-américains, les comptes rendus des congrès et les revuesThe New Era et Pour l’Ère Nouvelle. / La New Education Fellowship ha sido objeto muy estudado por la historiografía de la educación, con respecto a son congresos, como la discusión presentada por Brehony en um articulo muy conocido, o en relación a educadores y redes establecidas en diferentes países, tema tratado por Middleton, Haenggeli-Jenni, Watras, y otros. Aún así, podemos percibir que la historiografía está circunscrita de manera marcada a Europa con algunos trabajos referidos a Oceanía y Norte-América. En este sentido, nuestro propósito es crear un panorama que haga posible entender los procesos de constitución de redes entre NEF y América del Sur, en los años veinte y treinta, usando como hito la Conference de NEF in Locarno en 1927. Para trazar estas redes en América del Sur, consultamos los intercambios de correspondencia entre los educadores de América del Sur, los Informes de la Conferencia, y las revistas The New Era y Pour l’Ère Nouvelle.

Abstract/Notes: Lightner Witmer (1867-1956) founded the first psychology clinic in Philadelphia 100 years ago, in March 1896. Even though he was an American, he readily acknowledged some European roots of his work. Witmer earned his Ph.D. at the University of Leipzig, Germany, under Wilhelm Wundt. He was encouraged by his Philadelphia mentor, James McKeen Cattell, to focus on individual differences in the tradition of Francis Galton of England. Witmer modeled his clinical interventions after the previous efforts of J.R. Pereira, J.M.G. Itard, and Edouard Seguin of France and Maria Montessori of Italy. The consequences for modern psychology of Witmer's idea that psychologists should use their knowledge to help people individually were noteworthy. Clinical psychology is today the most common psychology specialty in Europe and, indeed, in much of the world. However, Witmer's concept that clinical psychologists should be trained at the doctoral level is as yet far better accepted in North America than it is elsewhere.
