Vives is considered the "father" of modern psychology.  Vives was the son of Jewish cloth merchants from the Spanish Netherlands who converted to Catholicism. Interestingly, he father was burned to death for clandestinely practicing Judaism and his mother's remains were exhumed and burned after her death for similar charges. His thinking in education and emotions had a profound impact on development of humanistic education and psychoanalysis.
