| 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.
Activity in Parliament during the Centenary Year coincided with the actual centenary in October and the Reception at the Science Museum. A parliamentary officer was recruited to coordinate it. |
