Carlos Albizu Miranda - Return To Puerto Rico

Return To Puerto Rico

In 1960, after he completed his internship, he returned to Puerto Rico with his family and taught psychology in his Alma Mater, the University of Puerto Rico. He also had a private practice in psychology. During his teaching years, he realized that there was a lack of qualified psychologists in Puerto Rico. He became concerned that the Universities in Puerto Rico did not offer graduate programs in psychology and that the few students who pursued a career as psychologists had to study outside of Puerto Rico where they were trained with models and techniques that were not always sensitive to the needs and sociocultural characteristics of Hispanic clients.

    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    Athletes have studied how to leap and how to survive the leap some of the time and return to the ground. They don’t always do it well. But they are our philosophers of actual moments and the body and soul in them, and of our manoeuvres in our emergencies and longings.
    Harold Brodkey (b. 1930)
