Dear Psychologist

2012 has been a tough year for society globally.

An ailing world economy and rapidly advancing technology are making people redundant. Countless people continue to lose their livelihood & their homes. Life is becoming tougher for ordinary people, while natural disasters & environmental degradation are devastating us. Social brutality, war & terror numb the psyche...

Faculty of Psychology of Lomonosov Moscow State University and Russian Psychological Society proudly inform that Psychology in Russia: State of the Art is included in Scopus (Elsevier).

‘Preventive measures can reduce the incidence of depression and anxiety with 25% or more’. ‘Health damage due to alcohol abuse, smoking and overeating can be lowered by changing people’s behaviors and living environments’. These are conclusions from the expert conference ‘Psychology for Health’, organized by the European Federation of Psychologists’ Associations (EFPA) in Brussels on September 20-21, 2012.

How does one find a psychologist? And how does one know that a psychologist is qualified and competent in a certain field of practice? Many European countries have a law protecting the title of psychologist and keep a register of psychologists allowed to use this title and/or practice as a psychologist, and an increasing number of psychologists have their own website where they describe their services and qualifications. EuroPsy provides a solution at European level and enables the public to check the credentials of psychologists.

EuroPsy, the European Certificate in Psychology, has been developed to create greater clarity and uniformity across European countries. It shows that the holder has received a high standard of education and training in psychology and follows the ethical code of psychologists. It also requires psychologists to stay up to date through Continuing Professional Development. EuroPsy is designed to supplement national standards rather than replace them. Since its requirements are the same across Europe, EuroPsy is not only helpful in the home country, but also when psychologists work in another European country.

Articles must be presented both in English and Russian, and must be competently written and argued. Submission deadline for Volume 6 is December 25th, 2012.

Submit manuscripts electronically (.doc) to psychologyinrussia@gmail.com.
