Abstract

The paper discusses the difficulties for European psychology to transform itself into a scientific discipline that displays its full richness in diversity while maintaining a fundamental unity. Traditional university education structures and the specifics of socialization into psychological science are seen as preventing psychologists from becoming efficiently and effectively engaged in solving social problems. While English as the current lingua franca of scientific discourse offers border-transcending opportunities for scientific communication, it also creates differences in competitive opportunities for non-English-speaking psychologists. Further, a critical barrier is seen in scientific paradigmatic prisons that may only be overcome by intellectual tolerance and open communication.
