It continued the volume numbering of Revista Espiritista, periodico de Estudios Psicologicos (Barcelona) that had been begun in May 1869 by Jose Maria Fernandez Colavida (1819-1888). The journal was suppressed in November 1897 and reappeared in July 1899. when it was accompanied by Biblioteca Espiritista, which, for a separate subscription of 5 pesetas, appeared each week and contained in each issue of 32 pages a serialized work on "La Ciencia Espirita," "El Infierno o La Barquera del Jucar," "Historia Critica del Gnosticismo," etc. In 1902 the journal was merged with Luz y Union, and the combined journal was called by the joint name: Luz y Union, Revista de Estudios Psicologicos.

This began as a standard Kardecist spiritist journal and over time expanded its interests to include what the title of the journal reflects: "psychological sciences," a term that became the the subtitle of a great number of Spanish- and Portuguese-language spiritist journals as they moved in greater or lesser degrees away from doctrinaire spiritism to spiritism as one possible example of the complexities and possibilities inherent in human psychology and its varying expressions worldwide: telekinesis, occult sciences, oriental spirituality, phenomena, telepathy, clairvoyance, lucid dreams, Theosophy, and the like.

"The review deals with everything that is most related to modern psychology, in line with the advances of science, the manifestations and teachings of the spirits, the most perfect Christian morality, the immortality of the soul, the nature of man and his future, the history of ancient and modern spiritism, etc., etc., etc.’
