Launch
of the PMK-RD
A
week later, on January 28th, the Catalan Society of Psychologists
was the site for the presentation of the new digital version
of Dr. Mira's Myokinetic Psychodiagnostic Test (PMK-RD).
On this occasion the speakers were the President of the
Society Dr. Jaime Almenara, and the authors of the scoring
methodology Drs. J. M. Tous and Albert Viade, both lecturers
in the School of Psychology of the University of Barcelona,
in charge of the Mira y Lopez Laboratory of the Personality,
Evaluation and Treatment Division of the School. The last
speaker was Dr. Bardella, President of Vetor Publishers
in Sao Paulo, Brazil, who holds the exclusivity of the
test in that country. Dr. Bardella had traveled to Barcelona
with the specific purpose of concretizing with the above
authors how best to implement the new methodology. During
his brief intervention Dr.Bardella highlighted the well
spread use of the test in Brazil and in particular its
compulsory nature for applicants for driving licences.
After a simplified theoretical explanation of the methodology,
a demonstration of the new digital version of the PMK-RD
was offered to the audience so that they could appreciate
the greater speed of scoring and interpretation of results
now available. This was followed by a Question and Answer
period by the psychologists in the audience, who jotted
down the web page of Dr,. Mira. The President of the
Society, Dr. Almenara, closed the act and invited the
audience to share light refreshments.

Rumanian
Edition of the Handbook of Forensic Psychology
The
book, published in Barcelona in 1932 by Salvat Publishers,
has been recently edited in Bucharest by Oscar Print,
in the Rumanian language. This translation by psychologist
Ileana Trandafir, joins the existing translations of the
book in Portuguese, French and Italian. The book has become
a classic in the literature in the field, not only because
of the early date of publication and the subsequent reprintings
of it in Buenos Aires by The Ateneo Publishers but because
of its conceptualization, which gives it a timeless and
universal perspective, very useful to law students and
future judges.
