The New Zealand Psychological Society (NZPsS) is one of the professional associations for psychologists in New Zealand.
History
The society began as a branch of the British Psychological Society in 1947, becoming an independent body in 1967.[2][3] Originally the society was dominated by academic psychologists, but by the 1960s and 1970s, practicing psychologists, primarily clinical psychologists, became a growing voice within the society.[4]
In 1979, Ann Ballin became the first woman president of the society.[2]
The society was an integral lobbying force in passing the Psychologists Act 1981, which established psychology as a registered profession in New Zealand.[4]
Institutes and divisions
Within the society, a number of divisions exist to promote and foster specific fields within psychology. The Clinical Psychology Division was formed in the 1970s,[4] followed by the Counselling Psychology Division in 1985[5] and the Community and Social Psychology Division was established in 1987.[6] As of 2022, there are seven institutes and one special interest group:[7]
- Institute of Clinical Psychology
- Institute of Community Psychology Aotearoa
- Institute of Counselling Psychology
- Institute of Criminal Justice and Forensic Psychology
- Institute of Educational and Developmental Psychology
- Institute of Health Psychology
- Institute of Organisational Psychology
- Special Interest Group (Coaching Psychology)
Registration
The society has a two-tier approach to membership and professional regulation: a general-scope registration, followed by a specialist scope registration, in a field such as clinical psychology or educational psychology.[3]
