Welcome:
The Division of Peace Psychology, established within the
American Psychological Association (APA) in 1990, is a
growing organization consisting of psychologists, students,
and professional affiliates from diverse disciplines. In all
of its activities, the division attempts to draw on the
talents that exist in its members, those that exist in
various divisions of the APA, in international professional
organizations, and in related disciplines. The division is a
young organization that welcomes professionals and students
who wish to contribute to peace. It welcomes diverse
international perspectives and ethnic and gender
orientations to peace. The purpose of the division is to
increase and apply psychological knowledge in the pursuit of
peace. Peace here is defined broadly to include both the
absence of war and the creation of positive social
conditions which minimize destructive conflicts and promote
human well-being.
