O autor dos comentários sobre o novo manual escreve da perspectiva de um membro da geração de psicólogos que se autodenominam “intermediários”.
Os “intermediários” passaram a infância assistindo a noticiários sobre a 2a Guerra Mundial.
Os “intermediários” nasceram no período entre a edição do 1o e do 2o Manuais editados por Murchison, nos anos 30.
A formação profissional dos “intermediários” deu-se entre dois períodos da Psicologia.
Na época da 2a Guerra, os cinemas exibiam filmes de cowboy para as crianças nas tardes de sábado.
Gabarito:
Os “intermediários” nasceram no período entre a edição do 1o e do 2o Manuais editados por Murchison, nos anos 30.
