Psychological Association
A psychological association is an organization that brings together professionals in psychology to promote the study and practice of psychology. These associations provide resources like research publications, networking opportunities, and professional development for psychologists. They often advocate for the interests of the psychology profession and contribute to public awareness of mental health issues. Examples include the American Psychological Association (APA) and the British Psychological Society (BPS), which set ethical guidelines, support education, and host conferences to share knowledge among psychologists and related fields.
