Abstract

Although IAAP foundation (International Association of Applied Psychology) is referred to a first conference in psychotecnics which E. Claparède organized in Geneva in 1920, its formal condition as a scientific association had its beginning in a subsequent congress held in Paris in 1927. There, the group gathered around Claparède joined another group promoted by a Latvian psychologist, M. Moeller, and mainly formed by German trained professionals. This latter group became finally integrated into the former. The three letters presented here reveal so far unknown aspects of the contacts between Moeller, Claparède and some other colleagues which in the end led to the fusion of both movements under the common title of “International Association of Psychotechnics”, which a few years later was to turn into the current IAAP.
