PhD and Licentiate Dissertations 1950-1996
The dissertations are available at the Blåsenhus Library.
Between 1977 and 1996 there were two psychology departments at Uppsala University, the Department of Psychology and the Department of Applied Psychology. In 1996, the two departments were fused into one. The dissertations below are therefore listed accordingly.
