title: Contributions to the history of psychology: XXXIV. Enrique O. Aragon, a pioneer in Mexican psychology.
abstract: Enrique O. Aragón (1880-1942) was a Mexican physician responsible, in great measure, for the development of academic psychology in Mexico in the first decades of the century. He wrote the first book devoted solely to psychology in Mexico, and his founding of the first psychological Wundtian-style laboratory at the National University of Mexico was instrumental in the development of sufficient academic interest in the discipline to lead to the establishment of a university program in psychology as a profession.
