Abstract
Although Charlotte Bühler (1893-1974) was one of the most prominent female psychologists during the first half of the last century, she never received a full professorship in a psychology department. In this paper, we discuss possible reasons for this failure and focus on problems related to an offer from Fordham University in 1938 that never materialized. Our analysis based on unpublished documents indicates that Charlotte Bühler provided incorrect reasons for the failure in her autobiography. Moreover, we found no evidence that Karl Bühler ever received an offer from Fordham University. Overall, our reconstruction of events indicates that Charlotte Bühler came very close to her goal of receiving a full professorship at a research university, but unfavorable political developments and her suboptimal decisions were involved in the unfortunate outcome.

虽然夏洛特·贝赫勒(1893-1974)是上世纪上半叶最杰出的女性心理学家之一，但她从未获得过心理学系的正教授职位。在本文中，我们讨论了这种失败的可能原因，并将重点放在1938年福特汉姆大学从未实现的offer相关问题上。我们基于未发表的文献进行分析，发现Charlotte b hler在自传中提供了错误的失败原因。此外，我们没有发现任何证据表明Karl b hler曾经收到过福特汉姆大学的录取通知书。总的来说，我们对事件的重建表明，夏洛特·贝赫勒非常接近她在一所研究型大学获得正教授职位的目标，但不利的政治发展和她不理想的决定与不幸的结果有关。(PsycInfo数据库记录(c) 2023 APA，版权所有)。
