History
History



The inception of the Faculty of Psychology at Universitas Padjadjaran (Unpad) can be traced back to a pivotal discussion between Colonel Dr. Soemantri Hardjoprakoso, then Head of the Army Psychology Center, and a group of military psychologists. The question at the heart of this discussion was: who would nurture the future generation of Army Psychology cadres? Captain Soemitro Kartosoedjono, Dipl. Psych. wholeheartedly embraced this vision, and the subsequent step involved reaching out to the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education (FKIP) at Unpad, an institution recognized for its esteemed faculty, including Dr. W.A. Gerungan, Drs. J. Wulur, and Prof. Dr. Mochtar Buchori.
