Scientific Programme Overview

The conversations shaping the future of psychology begin here.

The 30th Annual Congress of the Psychological Society of South Africa brings together three days of research, practice, dialogue and innovation under the theme: Psychology in Transition: Humanity, Technology, and the Future of Care.

Across seven parallel streams, the Scientific Programme reflects the breadth of contemporary psychology while creating space for the questions now facing the profession: how we care, how we assess, how we teach, how we lead, and how we remain human in a rapidly changing world.
