This is the first of two volumes collecting the key proceedings of
the 30th International Congress of Psychology, the first to be held
in Africa in the 123 years of its history. The theme of the
conference was "Psychology Serving Humanity", a recognition of
psychology's unfulfilled mission in the majority world and a
reflection of what that world requires from psychology. Mainstream
Psychology finds its largest number of exponents and leading
personalities in the high income countries of the global West. The
Other Psychologies, referred to by different names, are scattered
across the rest of the world. Some of the names of these other
forms of Psychology include indigenous Psychology. The main driver
of indigenous and other forms of non-mainstream Psychology is the
endeavour to embed the discipline in the dynamics of local
societies. Psychology has entered an interesting era, however.
While the dominant philosophy underpinning the discipline remains
Western, Psychology in the majority world in 2000s may have reached
a tipping point. It took over a hundred years but the 2004 and 2012
International Congresses of Psychology held in China and South
Africa heralded a newfound possibility for the discipline. There is
an opening of the field to potentially new thought and forms of the
practice of Psychology. These proceedings are published in the hope
that all psychologists, especially those located in well-resourced
institutions in the West, confront the divided reality that
characterizes Psychology so as to creatively consider the
opportunity opened up by the growing field at the peripheries. Care
was taken when assembling both conference and proceedings to ensure
that the entire international psychological community was
represented. Volume One contains contributions to Majority World
Psychology. Volume Two contains contributions to Western
Psychology.
