The New Society for Psychology eV (NGfP) is an association of scientists in psychology and their neighboring professions, as well as practitioners working in these fields. The NGfP is based in Berlin ; the office is also in Berlin.
The NGfP, which sees itself as a scientific specialist society , promotes a method and societal critical examination of psychological topics. The focus is on a cross-disciplinary and interdisciplinary discussion.
The official journal of the NGfP is the Journal für Psychologie , which has been published since 1992. It has been published by Pabst-Verlag since 2007 and is freely available on the Internet as Open Access .
Goals and Membership
The aim is to promote the humane design of human coexistence, a critical, reflective understanding of science, gender equality in science, research appropriate to the subject, as well as the realization of the social, cultural and historical conditioned nature of the psychic. The psychological practice is to be scientifically accompanied and reflected upon by building on the humanities, cultural and social science traditions of the discipline. Any person who supports the goals of the NGfP and is scientifically or practically active in the field of psychology can become a full member. In addition to the regular members, there are sponsoring and student members who are organized in their own committee.
history
The NGfP was founded in 1991 in Berlin by a group of psychologists in order to counterbalance the prevailing psychology, which is increasingly concentrating on scientific topics, and to strengthen approaches to human, human and cultural studies. Since 1992 the journal "Journal für Psychologie" has been published as the company's official journal.
