How has psychology fared over ten years of democracy? Achievements, challenges and questions

Abstract

This Special Issue of the South African Journal of Psychology (SAJP) seeks to reflect critically on the role and relevance of South African psychology in the context of social transformation. Contributors to this Special Issue encourage an examination of the theory, method and practice of psychology for and in a democratic South Africa, and offer some critical insights into specific developments in South African psychology over the last decade (1994 to 2003), developments that were in all likelihood influenced by globalization trends in international psychology, and the restructuring of science councils and tertiary institutions.
