The International Union of Psychological Science (IUPsyS) works to promote the development, representation and advancement of psychology as a basic and applied science nationally, regionally, and internationally. The main activities of the IUPsyS focus on fostering the development of the science and practice of psychology. Read more.

World Mental Health Day is observed annually on 10 October to raise awareness of and improve mental health around the world. This year the focus is on https://www.who.int/campaigns/world-mental-health-day/world-mental-health-day-2020. IUPsyS strongly supports the call for increased investment in essential mental health and psychosocial services, which have been disrupted globally by the COVID-19 pandemic and at a time when they are most needed. #worldmentalhealthday #mental health #COVID19.

IUPsyS is deeply shocked and saddened by the devastating occurrences in Beirut harbour on the afternoon of 04 August 2020, which have had cataclysmic effects on the people and infrastructure of Lebanon both now and in the aftermath of the explosions. IUPsyS strongly calls for an international humanitarian response to support the people of Lebanon, whose resilience has over the years been severely tested to the extreme, as we have sadly witnessed over these many months.

We extend our solidarity to our National Member, the Lebanese Psychological Association, which will be working with all those affected. We have been in contact with our Executive Committee Member, Prof Brigitte Khoury, who lives and works in Beirut.

Our thoughts are with our colleagues and the people of Beirut during this humanitarian crisis of immense proportions.

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.
