This volume describes the present status and the history of the
International Union of Psychological Science - the most
representative international psychological body. The IUPsyS
includes national psychological associations from 66 countries,
with more joining every year, and it has formal relations with the
United Nations, UNESCO, the World Health Organization, the
International Council for Science, and the International Social
Science Council. Many well known psychologists have played
important roles in this international organization, and the text
and many photographs bring the story to life. IUPsyS was organized
formally at the 14th International Congress of Psychology at
Stockholm in 1951, so the 27th International Congress of Psychology
at Stockholm in 2000 marks a half-century of its existence. But the
history of the IUPsyS goes back to the first International
Congresses of Psychology, 1889, and to the International Congress
Committee which foreshadowed the organization of the International
Union. After describing the present status of the IUPsyS in Chapter

1, the book traces briefly the early development of scientific
societies and organizations. Chapter 3 tells how the first
International Congress of Psychology was organized in Paris in 1889
and what it accomplished. Successive international congresses and
the growth of psychology during the next sixty years are treated in
chapters 4-6. The founding and development of the International
Union in the last half of the 20th Century are described in the
remaining chapters. International Congresses organized by the
IUPsyS have taken place regularly since 1951, and the IUPsyS has
steadily gained in the scope and influence of its activities. The
congresses, long restricted to western Europe and North America,
became more representative geographically, moving to Moscow, Tokyo,
Leipzig, Acapulco, and Sydney, with the 28th congress planned for
Beijing in 2004. The history shows how the IUPsyS has become
increasingly able to face the problems and opportunities of the
21st century.

"Enriched and Impoverished Environments: Effects on Brain and"
"Behaviour" is the most recent review of the active area of
neuronal plasticity. The question of how experience is recorded is
fundamental to psychology; speculations and investigations
concerning the role of the brain in this process have entered a
particularly exciting phase as of the late 1980's. Manipulations of
environmental complexity is one of the earliest methods utilized in
the study of neural plasticity. This monograph organizes the
evidence to date concerning the responsiveness of neural and
behavioural systems to external manipulation of the environment.
Further consideration is given to the issues of causation of the
general effects of environment on brain and behaviour.
