This variation suggests that there are several psychological and social in terventions that can be implemented.

“The Psychology fostering the human well-being”

The Cuban Society of Psychology, historically linked to this event since 1999, with a continuity maintained for a decade, announces a new edition: Hominis-2016. This Convention will provide you with a contemporary vision, in keeping with the demands and requirements of Cuban Psychology, inserted in the dynamics of our social project with its achievements, prospects and challenges.

The proposed topics insist, on treating interdisciplinary issues, the need to find out integrating spaces so as to create the subjectivity and understanding of complexity, as well as the diversity in the human being´s dimensions as part of social and personal development.

These arguments support the purpose of this event so as to foster a setting for reflection, scientific exchange and professional commitment in view of the dilemmas of the present century, in which we act as representatives of a science which has been gaining in maturity and experience, within a moment of constant changes, as well as necessary reorganization and adjustments in order to favor human improvement.

We are pleased to invite you to participate in the analysis and debate of the different topics of the meeting, which will be held from May 9th to 13th, 2016, at the Havana International Conference Center, located in CUBANACÁN neighborhood, in the western part of Havana, Cuba.

Dear colleagues, we are utterly convinced that your participation in the Convention will contribute to the success of this new edition of our science and profession. Cuban hospitality and joy will help to spread at a fast rate the enriching debates and exchanges we hope to enjoy during this event.

European Federation of Psychologists Associations EFPA Press Release
Published: 17.09.2012 | RPS

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.

Developing healthy life styles, preventing disease, and (self-) managing chronic disease and adverse life events are closely linked to how people think, feel and act. It should therefore come a no surprise that psychology, as the science of human cognition, emotion and behaviour, has substantial contributions to make when it comes to promoting personal and public health.

We invite experts and policy makers from European institutions, the EU member states, other European countries, the health sector and NGOs to register on-line through this website http://www.efpa.eu/PsyforHealthCongress2012.

Noble Prize in Physiology/Medicine 2014 awarded to Psychologists

Psychologists John O'Keefe (UK) and wife and husband May‐Britt and Edvard Moser (Norway) from the University of Trondheim won this year's Nobel Prize in Physiology/Medicine for discovering an “inner GPS” in the brain.

O'Keefe's pioneering work in 1971 was confirmed a generation later, in 2005, by the Mosers, making a considerable contribution to behavioural science.

This year´s Nobel Laureates receive the prize for their discoveries of cells that constitute a positioning system in the brain. They have discovered a positioning system, an “inner GPS” in the brain that makes it possible to orient ourselves in space, demonstrating a cellular basis for higher cognitive function. They discovered how the brain knows where we are and is able to navigate from one place to another. Their findings may help explain why Alzheimer's disease patients cannot recognize their surroundings.
