First Steps of Marxist Psychology in the Democratic Republic of Vietnam

The founding of Marxist psychology in the Democratic Republic of Vietnam is indissolubly linked with the development of socialist culture and science in the country. Until the Revolution of August 1945, psychology as a field of research had had no development at all. There was no special training for personnel in this field. During the colonial period, psychology was taught at the higher educational institution for teachers, and that was all. It goes without saying that it followed course outlines and textbooks sent from France and completely imbued with reactionary idealist theories.
