XI Congrés International de Psychologie


Dear readers,

today we bring to you a picture from a cover with a commemorative from the 11th International Congress of Psychology
At the begining the 11th International Congress of Psychology was planned to take place in Madrid in September 1936, as initially planned. Instead, it was held in Paris in July of the following year. The finding of a so-far unpublished correspondence between the main organizers of the event, the Spanish psychologists José Germain and Emilio Mira, and the Swiss psychologist Edouard Claparéde, makes it possible to gain new insight into the circumstances preventing its celebration in Madrid. This paper aims at shedding some light on such circumstances by unraveling the social and political context alluded to in these letters, and connecting their contents with other significant events and documents on the various organizational aspects of the congress.

Every four years, scholars in psychology gather for an exciting time of sharing their current research, their new ideas in research and practice, and their perceptions of the future of our field. This gathering is the IUPsyS International Congress of Psychology.  The 27th International Congress of Psychology was held in Stockholm, Sweden, July 23–28, 2000. The Congress was attended by almost 6,000 scholars. Participants came from 90 countries. The largest delegation of 1,707 was from Sweden, while Japan sent 540, the USA 513, and the United Kingdom 215. Some 1,264 participants were students, and the Young Psychologist Program included psychologists from 17 countries. More than 100 journalists covered the proceedings of the Congress. Eleven workshops before or after the Congress attracted some 126 delegates.
Altogether, 680 scientific program sessions, arranged into 24 to 30 concurrent sessions, occurred over the duration of the Congress. These program presentations provided participants the latest research developments in psychology from around the world. Specifically, the program was composed of a Presidential Address, 3 Special Addresses, 3 Special Panels, 24 Keynote Addresses (KEY), 42 State of the Arts Lectures (SOA), 204 Invited Symposia (SYM), and 262 Thematic Oral paper sessions (PPR), consisting of 5–7 papers each (IPS); additionally, more than 141 Interactive Poster Sessions (INT) consisting of 10–28 thematic posters.
