About The ABPsi

The Association of Black Psychologists (The ABPsi) was founded in 1968 by a group of Black Psychologists, led by Joseph White, who were disaffected by the benign and malignant neglect of the American Psychological Association.

The purposes of The ABPsi are to counter racism in psychology and to promote Black Psychology as a more accurate portrayal of the human condition. The ABPsi has authored dozens of position papers on issue of importance to its members and the general public. The ABPsi supports graduate and undergraduate students in psychology.

The scholarly arm of The ABPsi is manifested in The Journal of Black Psychology, published in collaboration with Sage Publications and now in its 46th year (in 2020). The ABPsi also publishes PsychDiscourse: NewsJournal of The Association of Black Psychologists that provides news and views of the Association’s membership.
