Abstract

Danish psychology was founded as an independent academic discipline in 1886 when Alfred Lehmann established his first psychophysical laboratory in Copenhagen. Lehmann, who had been studying experimental principles under Wilhelm Wundt in Leipzig, represented the new psychophysical psychology, and the founding of an independent
laboratory was a break with the philosophical tradition where psychology was subsumed until then. Lehmann was an enterprising and versatile researcher and although his scientific results are primarily of historical interest today, thre is no doubt about the importance of his role in establishing psychology as an independent academic discipline, as well as the practical application of psychology within the Danish society.
