14 and 15 June 1987 was held in Lizori (Perugia, Italy), a Summit of Psychological Science
between A. Meneghetti, Frank Barron (professor of psychology at the University of California Santa Cruz
, director of the Barron Center in applied creativity) and Alexej Matiuškijn (President of the Association
Psychologists of the USSR, Director of the Academy Psicopedagogico
of Sciences). It is a meeting "historic" which compares the study of psychology with the American
Soviets. "Matjuskin was higher for culture and intelligence, "says
Meneghetti," Barron did not know the great humanistic psychology. Matjuskin knew very well
Ananiev and Karl Rogers. "
The meeting had great results, Matiuškijn was the first who took seriously the ' Ontopsychology
in Russia. In addition, the meeting started through contact of Barron
a collaboration with the University of Santa Cruz will take shape next year in the first Summer Session in
Lizori.
The Corriere Umbria "(June 7, 1987) in an article by Sergio Milic
reports:" The aim is sin d’ora dichiarato: esplorare le nuove frontiere della psicologia applicata,
sull’onda di un fecondo scambio di opinioni. In questo campo, come sottolinea con orgoglio
Meneghetti, l’ Ontopsicologia ha già bruciato le tappe. Un importante avallo in materia dovrebbe
arrivare proprio da Barron e Matiuškijn, eponimi di una scienza calatasi da tempo nell’alveo
sociale. Americano e sovietico conoscono e apprezzano il bagaglio di nozioni “pratiche”
accumulato dal collega italiano”.
