Ritchie Summary This volume describes the present status and the history of the International Union of Psychological Science - the most representative international psychological body. The IUPsyS includes national psychological associations from 66 countries, with more joining every year, and it has formal relations with the United Nations, UNESCO, the World Health Organization, the International Council for Science, and the International Social Science Council. Many well known psychologists have played important roles in this international organization, and the text and many photographs bring the story to life. IUPsyS was organized formally at the 14th International Congress of Psychology at Stockholm in 1951, so the 27th International Congress of Psychology at Stockholm in 2000 marks a half-century of its existence. But the history of the IUPsyS goes back to the first International Congresses of Psychology, 1889, and to the International Congress Committee which foreshadowed the organization of the International Union. After describing the present status of the IUPsyS in Chapter one, the book traces briefly the early development of scientific societies and organizations.; Chapter three tells how the first International Congress of Psychology was organized in Paris in 1889 and what it accomplished. Successive international congresses and the growth of psychology during the next 60 years are treated in chapters four-to-six. The founding and development of the International Union in the last half of the 20th Century are described in the remaining chapters Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Description based on print version record and CIP data provided by publishser Subject International Union of Psychological Science -- History SUBJECT International Union of Psychological Science International Union of Psychological Science fast Subject Psychology -- history Societies, Scientific -- history PSYCHOLOGY -- Reference.
