Conference Theme: “Surviving and Thriving in Times of Change”
“The only thing that is constant is change”. This is attributed to Heraclitus,
500 years before Christ, but he was not the last person to say this. More
recently, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi used the same words to remind us of a basic
aspect of the human condition – we need to accept and adapt to change, and cope
with the stress that it brings, in order to survive and thrive.
Change is not new, but change today is unique in its pace, its extent, and its
impact. The pace of change in its various forms – technological change, social
change, climate change – has been incredible; its extent has been global. The
impact of change on humans has been extremely powerful. Our daily lives have
changed dramatically and irreversibly.
One of the challenges of psychology and the behavioral sciences has been to
help humans adapt to their environments, to help us be resilient in the face of
challenges and failures, to help us maintain our mental health, to help us
overcome the various difficulties that life brings us. All areas in the study
of psychology and the behavioral sciences aim to teach us to be psychologically
literate, to provide us with the knowledge and skills to survive and thrive,
and to help others survive and thrive.
ACP2018 welcomes your proposals in all areas of Psychology and the Behavioral
Sciences, from traditional developmental, clinical, social, educational and
other areas to contemporary approaches such as the recently popular mindfulness
approach, which address this timeless but very timely and relevant theme.
