PsySSA Statements

Welcome to the Statements section of the Psychological Society of South Africa (PsySSA). Here, we provide our members and the public with access to a range of position statements, media responses, and official commentary on issues that are pertinent to the field of psychology and the broader societal context in which we operate.

PsySSA is committed to building a unified, relevant, and responsive psychology. In line with this mission, our statements reflect the collective expertise and ethical stance of our society on various matters. They serve as a guide for best practices, a response to current events, and as a catalyst for dialogue and action within the community and among stakeholders.

We encourage you to read through our statements to gain insight into the professional perspectives of South Africa’s leading psychological society on critical issues affecting both the discipline of psychology and the diverse populations we serve.
