W.), had an important role in the beginnings of the Sociedad Interamericana de Psicología (SIP): Brachfeld was its President between 1953 and 1955, and Wolff was one of the initiators of the SIP (with Oswaldo Robles, Guillermo Dávila and Rogelio Díaz-Guerrero) and its first Vicepresident (1951-1953) and General Secretary until his premature death in 1957.
