Cuban psychologist and professor Carolina Luz de la Torre Molina dies

Carolina Luz de la Torre Molina, a Cuban psychologist, professor and researcher, died on a Friday morning. The announcement brings together the professional roles with which she is identified: her work in psychology, teaching and research. The notice of her death presents her as a figure associated with those fields without separating her academic activity from her intellectual contribution.

The Cuban Society of Psychology announced her death, and the connection between them was also part of De la Torre’s career: she led the organization. In its statement, the institution described her as a distinguished teacher and researcher. That assessment records the recognition expressed by the organization she headed in addition to documenting her relationship with Cuban psychology.

Biographical information places her birth in Matanzas in 1947 and her graduation in 1971. De la Torre studied psychology at the University of Havana’s faculty in that field. The sequence provides two distinct milestones: her place and year of birth on one hand, and her university education on the other. Both are connected to the professional profile described.

In addition to her teaching and research, the statement highlighted her intellectual engagement with her time and her critical thinking. The institution linked those qualities to work that defended certain ideas; the available material does not identify those ideas or list titles. The characterization reflects institutional recognition without attributing publications, positions or activities not included in the biographical information here.

The profile combines a university education in Havana with a professional life tied to psychology, teaching and research. It also records her presidency of the Cuban society in the field and the recognition that institution expressed after her death. The central fact is her death on a Friday morning; the passage reporting it does not provide a more specific calendar date.
