I am looking for advices in History of Psychology. In my University, they use a book which has not fulfilled my personal needs. I have been looking in the web and I have found one named: Historia de la Psicología de Juan Manuel Burgos; but the version Google Books has does not convice me.
Any feedback is welcome.
(Según una perspectiva tomista de la Psicología, ¿qué libro de Historia de la Psicología sería el mejor para principiantes en esta rama?)

I appreciate the good resources that Beatrice provided.

You might also consider Henryk Misiak and Virginia Sexton's Catholics in Psychology: A historical survey. New York: McGraw-Hill. Chicago, 1954. This is not a full overview, but focuses on major Catholic contributors as well as offering a model for integrating psychology, theology, and philosophy.
Another classic history that might be helpful is Cardinal Desire Mercier's The Origins of Contemporary Psychology (translated by W. H. Mitchell from the second French edition, New York: P.J. Kenedy, 1918). This is a history from the Scholastic perspective.

For a recent treatment, see Psychology and Catholicism: Contested Boundaries
by Robert Kugelmann. Cambridge University Press (June 30, 2011)
In this historical study of psychology and Catholicism, Kugelmann aims to provide clarity in an area filled with emotion and opinion. From the beginnings of modern psychology to the mid 1960s, this complicated relationship between science and religion is methodically investigated. Conflicts such as the contested boundary between psychology and the Church of 'person' versus 'soul' are debated thoroughly. Kugelmann goes on to examine topics such as the role of the subconscious in explaining spiritualism and miracles; psychoanalysis and the sacrament of confession; myth and symbol in psychology and religious experience; cognition and will in psychology and in religious life; humanistic psychology as a spiritual movement. This fascinating study will be of great interest to scholars and students of both psychology and religious studies but will also appeal to all of those who have an interest in the way modern science and traditional religion coexist in our ever-changing society.
Kugelmann is actively engaged in further aspects of Catholic Psychology.
