Psychology in the northern countries.

"Psychology enjoys a healthy and growing vitality in Finland and in the Scandinavian countries." Emphasis is on "… classical problems and methodology though there is much interest in personality theory and psychometrics." Student selection is rigorous; emphasis is placed on individual work by students; psychological organizations are small; a bimonthly multilingual journal, Nordisk Psykologi, is published.
