Abstract

Two books written by the Peruvian psychiatrist Honorio Delgado, Psicología (Psychology, 1933) and La personalidad y el carácter (Personality and character, 1943), are analyzed in detail in this communication, since both allow us to know the author ’s conception of psychology. The first, Psicología, written in collaboration with the philosopher Mariano Iberico, proposes a psychology closely linked to philosophy, highlighting the role of introspection and intuition. The second, La personalidad y el carácter, presents Delgado’s concepts of personality, and exposes various theories of personality, most notably the German ones (Kretschmer, Jung, Spranger, among others).
