History

The University of Buenos Aires began imparting courses on psychology in 1957, at the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters. Its first professors were professionals in the field of applied psychology and medical psychologists. The following year, in 1958, a new curriculum for the course was introduced and the Department of Psychology was created. By 1970, up to 5000 new students had enrolled at the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters, 90% of which were pursuing psychology and sociology degrees. The increase in interest for these careers led to UBA authorities discussing the possibility of creating new faculties dedicated to these disciplines.

In 1974, under the rectorship of right-wing professor Alberto Ottalagano, the Department of Psychology was removed from the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters and placed under direct tutelage of the UBA rectorship. In the following years, the military dictatorship that took over in the 1976 coup d'état would intervene the university and disencourage new applicants, leading the total number of new psychology students to plummet to 300. The dictatorship was wary of the purported influences of Marxism and Freudian psychoanalysis among psychology students, and disapproved of group practices and community work.

The return of democracy to Argentina in 1983 saw a renewed interest in the field of psychology, and by 1984, the university had 4,000 new students enrolled in the course. By 6,226 psychology students at the university. The rectorship had to employ classrooms at the Escuela Carlos Pellegrini and the ILSE for night shift classes. The 1986 class had 1,122 psychology graduates. The pronounced interest led the university to create the Faculty of Psychology in November 1985, the same year the "Law on the professional exercise of psychology", Ley N° 23.277, was sanctioned by the Argentine National Congress.
