Division 52 theme for 2025 is Global Psychology: Collaboration Across Borders
The Division 52 theme, Global Psychology: Collaboration Across Borders invites us to explore the multifaceted tapestry of human psychology across cultures. It’s a journey into understanding how different societies shape and are shaped by psychological principles. From unique cultural norms to varying approaches in psychotherapy and research, this field broadens our perspective on what it means to be human. Whether we’re examining issues of identity, mental health, or social dynamics, global psychology emphasizes the richness of our diversity and the commonality of human experiences.
