The 19th South African Psychology Congress Call For Abstracts

Since opening the call for abstracts on the 13th of March, the new PsySSA registration and abstract management systems have been receiving a steady flow of traffic. Early signs that many of the abstracts submitted for review reflect an attempt to think beyond the identities and practices that have historically cleaved therapeutics from science in South African Psychology. Single and co-authored posters and oral presentations provide useful vehicles for disseminating new research and innovative perspectives on bridging this divide. However, charged debate has traditionally been a defining characteristic of symposia and roundtable discussions at previous congresses. This year’s theme encourages widespread participation in these special presentation spaces. A well-conceptualized and populated symposium invites presenters in these forums to step out of their comfort zones in robustly attempting to redefine the possibilities and limits of the relevance of the discipline for the country and the continent.

Please submit your Abstract by 30 April 2013 The website: http://www.psyssa.com/ Please note that the abstract management system will not accept submissions beyond 23h00 (CAT) on Tuesday 30th of April 2013
