Abstract
Switzerland, the little country with a total population of 6,000,000, has made a unique contribution to psychology. The two giants in psychology, Carl Gustav Jung and Jean Piaget, are Swiss, the first one German-Swiss and the other French-Swiss. Jung’s main contribution was to personality theory and clinical psychology; Piaget’s main work has been developmental and cognitive studies.
Based on information supplied by Remy Droz, president, Swiss Society of Psychology, and other sources.
