The International Union of Psychological Science notes with grave concern the blatant racism in the USA which has resulted in the wanton killing of African Americans and the violent response to peaceful protests by young people. As Psychology’s Global Voice we urge US leaders to create an environment that is conducive to resolving this age-old scourge which blots our quest for a common humanity, and desist from fuelling further violence against its citizens. We attach a sample of responses from our members that express our collective willingness to support meaningful resolution, especially at this fragile period when all of us are reeling from the COVID-19 pandemic.

In Memoriam: Wayne H. Holtzman (1923 – 2019)

Secretary-General of IUPsyS, 1972 – 1984; President of IUPsyS, 1984 – 1988

Wayne H. Holtzman died on 23 January 2019 at the age of 96. Forty-one days later, Joan King, the love of his life, with whom he had been married for 71 years, also passed away at the age of 93.

Wayne was born in Chicago on 16 January 1923. After receiving a BS degree in Chemistry from Northwestern University, he was commissioned as an Ensign in the U.S. Navy in February 1944. He then served on the USS Iowa during the latter part of the Second World War as an anti-aircraft gunnery officer. His observations of people in life threatening combat conditions and often debilitating stress during these difficult times prompted a particular interest in the complexities of human behaviour that greatly influenced his future career.

Currently there is an increase in nationalist movements and the rise of anti-immigrant sentiments, xenophobia and intolerance in many parts of the world. These trends are impacting attitudes towards the United Nations and challenging the concept of Multilateralism upon which its charter is based. The General Assembly decided to recognise the 75th anniversary of the United Nations in 2020 as an important opportunity for governments to reaffirm their commitments to the UN Charter. Multilateralism is especially relevant now as the world faces a global pandemic. For more information, click here.

The International Union of Psychological Science (IUPsyS) trusts that you and yours are coping with the challenges caused by the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) - an unprecedented global public health phenomenon affecting most nations and regions of the world.

Besides the serious physical outcomes of the virus, social anxiety and the mental health needs of individuals, groups and communities who are directly and indirectly affected, will continue to grow.
