Goodbye Oulu!
After spending four wonderful days in Oulu, Finland, we had to say goodbye to the wonderful atmosphere of Oulu and Lasaretti, where our current president Petteri Pietikäinen and his team hosted the 33rd ESHHS conference. A big “Kiitos” goes to Petteri and his team for letting us have such a wonderful experience in Finland!
For those who could not attend the conference we put up some images from the conference and the landscape in our gallery (Thanks to Csaba Pleh and David Robinson!). Also, Roger Smith’s keynote can be found on his homepage. We also congratulate Kim Hajek for receiving this year’s Early Career Award!
Our next conference will be taking place in Angers, France. Our local organizer will be Sharman Levinson, the current secretary of the ESHHS board. We are all looking forward to meeting friends old and new there!

European Yearbook of the History of Psychology
Dear colleagues and fellow researchers,
for all who are interested in finding new sources (or publication opportunities) in the history of psychology we would like to recommend to you the European Yearbook of the History of Psychology.
The EYHP is a peer-reviewed international journal devoted to the history of psychology, and especially to the interconnections between historiographic survey and problems of epistemology.

Book award for ESHHS president!
Petteri Pietikäinen, current president of the ESHHS, received the prestigious Finnish national Kanava Award for the best non-fiction book of 2013 for his recent publication “Hulluuden historia” (“History of Madness”).
The awarding committee noted that the book tells an impressive story of how madness has been an intrinsic part of human experience and social organization. It suggests a new perspective on the role of madness in history, one expressed through the variety of ways in which madness has been explained and treated over time.
