Abstract
In the course of their divergent paths of professionalization and specialization, psychology and history have drifted very far apart. It is, therefore, not surprising that the remarks of my commentators divide quite spontaneously into those that have a historiographic focus and those that are more concerned with the scientific claims of psychology. Ash and Samelson have concentrated on the former type of problem, Mills on the latter. In my reply I will first consider the historiographic issues raised by Ash and Samelson and discuss the position Mills takes with respect to psychology in the last section.
