The Interamerican Society of Psychology (ISP) announces the XXVIIth
Interamerican Congress of Psychology to be held in Caracas, Venezuela
(June 27 - July 2, 1999).
As this will be our last congress of the milenia, we want it to
represent a celebration of American unity and an opportunity to assess
the state of psychology in our continent over the past 100 years. We
also want it to represent a forum for discussing new modes of
professional practice, new ways of interpreting and explaining
psychological phenomena, and new areas of application. Therefore, the
scientific program contemplates the participation of distinguished
psychologists from the A mericas and some outstanding scholars from
other parts of the world.
