| 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.
Exhibitions were organised at the National Portrait Gallery and the Science Museum during the centenary year. |
