The
Psychological Society of South Africa (PsySSA) enters its third decade as the
major representative body of Psychology professionals in the country, with a
growing membership, increasing social responsiveness to health and human rights
issues, and a record of hosting highly successful congresses throughout the
country with international speakers. Very much like our democracy, PsySSA is
constantly growing and maturing as an organisation, to provide a professional
association that reflects and represents all of its members and the diversity
that characterises Psychology as a discipline. In line with its strategic
objectives, PsySSA continues in its quest to be more relevant and responsive to
the concerns and priorities of the country, the continent and the world. This
is in keeping with the Society’s enhanced public profile and
professionalisation.
The 21st Annual South African Psychology Congress, with the theme Strength in Unity, to be held in Johannesburg 15 -18 September 2015 focuses on the strength of Psychology uniting within the discipline, and its capacity to forge greater unity in the nation, and beyond. The launch of the Pan-African Psychology Union last year and the highly successful hosting of the International Congress of Psychology (ICP 2012) are examples of PsySSA’s global record of uniting in the face of health, social and humanitarian challenges. To this end PsySSA continues to engage colleagues and organisations in efforts to broaden the horizons for Psychology as a discipline and especially the communities being served.
In the context of furthering development in South African Psychology and ensuring the inclusion of a wide range of voices, presentations, scholarly and practice-oriented perspectives, the Congress Committee invites you to submit contributions for the 2015 congress. It is hoped that the congress will showcase a broad range of scholarly research and reviews that reflect Psychology as science, profession and practice.
