| AdminHistory | The Psychological Society was founded on 24 October 1901 at University College London. Its aim was 'to advance scientific psychological research, and to further the co-operation of investigators in the various branches of Psychology.' It changed its name to 'The British Psychological Society' in 1906, to avoid confusion with another society.
A large amount of coordinated activity was planned to celebrate the Centenary of BPS in 2001.
A series of public lectures were planned during the centenary year. |
