Announcement

Dear colleague,

The Cuban Society of Health Psychology and the National Group of Psychology of the Ministry of Public Health of the Republic of Cuba, summon the IX INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE OF PSYCHOLOGY OF HEALTH, PSICOSALUD 2020, to be held from October 19 to 23, 2020, at the Havana Convention Center, Cuba. The intention of this important meeting is that those attending can develop a fluid and broad exchange of ideas on methodological, theoretical and practical aspects of Health Psychology, as a specific discipline, and its link with other specialties and fields of knowledge that human health has, as an object of study. The presence of a plurality of approaches and multidisciplinary and interrelated work, as in other editions, will guarantee to know the valid contributions that are made worldwide in terms of highlighting the growing role of psyche – and its equal recognition – in the promotion, prevention, treatment, rehabilitation and health determination.

Outstanding and recognized colleagues from all continents will meet in Havana, a city that with five centuries of history will become the place of psychological knowledge and work, with a single shared distinction: Working for the health of the human being.

Aware of the high responsibility that it means to work for the development of psychological science, Cuban psychologists, together with colleagues from other latitudes, will work to celebrate an event of high scientific and academic quality.

More than 50 years of professional practice constitute an unquestionable endorsement that we will know how to humbly share with all those who decide to accompany us, to also share their experiences and, therefore, learn from each other, as an indispensable premise derived from a dynamic of scientific and human exchange. We are driven to invite you all to share science, culture, art and history and to fill this beautiful city with the joyous presence of those who in those days will make it more universal and fuller. We assure you that the proverbial hospitality of the Cuban people will reign, to also ensure the success of our scientific party.

Save the date in your calendars!
