Abstract
Forty-two years ago, a small group within the Cheiron Society formed a dissident caucus, the Upper Left Hand Corner Club (ULHCC). The founding document, preserved in an old file folder, featured a diagram of the place of the history of psychology in relation to other fields, such as social history and the history of ideas. The goal of the caucus was to move the history of psychology to the upper left-hand corner of the diagram. That meant shifting the history of psychology from a somewhat immature version of the history of ideas, in which the precursors of late 20th century psychological theories could be discovered in the work of earlier figures ranging from Wilhelm Wundt and William James to William Wordsworth and Isaac Newton (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved).
