 psychology organizations


In 1920, Édouard Claparède and Pierre Bovet created a new applied psychology organization

 called the International Congress of Psychotechnics Applied to Vocational Guidance, later called

 the International Congress of Psychotechnics and then the International Association of Applied

 Psychology The IAAP is considered the oldest international psychology association. Today, at

 least 65 international groups deal with specialized aspects of psychology In response to male

 predominance in the field, female psychologists in the U.S. formed the National Council of

 Women Psychologists in 1941. This organization became the International Council of Women

 Psychologists after World War II and the International Council of Psychologists in 1959. Several

 associations including the Association of Black Psychologists and the Asian American

 Psychological Association have arisen to promote the inclusion of non-European racial groups

 in the profession. 





The International Union of Psychological Science (IUPsyS) is

 the world federation of national psychological societies. The

 IUPsyS was founded in 1951 under the auspices of the United

 Nations Educational, Cultural and Scientific Organization

 (UNESCO) Psychology departments have since

 proliferated around the world, based primarily on the Euro-

American model Since 1966, the Union has published

 the International Journal of Psychology. IAAP and IUPsyS

 agreed in 1976 each to hold a congress every four years, on a

 staggered basis

His dissertation, "Prolegomena zu einer Psychologie der Architektur" (1886), aimed to demonstrate that architecture could be understood from a purely psychological perspective rather than a historical or progressivist approach. Another significant contributor to the development of art psychology was Wilhelm Worringer, who provided some of the earliest theoretical justifications for expressionist art. Lev Vygotsky's work "The Psychology of Art" (1925) is also considered a classical contribution to the field, along with important theorist Richard Müller-Freienfels. In the twe...
