The Institute of Professional Psychologists is a professional organization which represents the interests of all aspects of psychology worldwide and which promotes unity, coherence and a sense of identity across the diverse scientific and professional interests.
The elected governing body represents various fields of psychology such as Applied Psychology, Occupational Psychology, Social Psychology, Developmental Psychology, Health Psychology, Sports Psychology, to name a few.
IPP maintains strong liaisons with many North American, European, and international psychology organizations in order to share information on scientific and professional issues, and often to work for common standards.
We are happy to announce that the Institute of Professional Psychologists is now coming forward as a professional body where qualified and trained Psychologists could interact with colleagues worldwide and serve as a forum for dissemination of knowledge and promote standards of professional excellence in the field of Psychology.
The different models for education and for defining standards require a co-operative review across countries in order to assure quality in the new world of increased globalization.
The institute provides its members the required opportunities to further their knowledge, skills, and professional competence.
Belief in the client’s right to have knowledgeable and skillful assistance provides the basis for the Psychologist’s participation in continuing education.
A commitment to continuing education also is grounded in an ethical principle articulated in the IPP Code of Ethics: "Psychologists practice within their area of competence and develop and enhance their professional expertise."
Continuing education further provides them with the opportunity to acquire new and necessary information; demonstrate a conscious self-directed and continuous effort toward personal and professional development; strengthen qualifications for professional licensure, certification, or registration; meet changing career demands; and explore new careers in Psychology.

The objects for which the INSTITUTE OF PROFESSIONAL PSYCHOLOGISTS is established are:

 

(a) To provide its Members with a Professional Body which will act on their behalf to further and protect their interest.
(b) To identify and promote appropriate standards for the practice of Psychotherapy and the supervision of its membership.
(c) To keep and publish a Register of Members which may include their qualifications and appropriate experience.
(d) To establish a Code of Ethics for its Members.
(e) To co-operate with any other organisation that has as its sole objective the furtherance of Psychotherapy as an ethical Profession.
(f) To foster and promote research in the field of Psychology.
(g) To do all such other things as are incidental or conducive to the attainment of the above objects or any part of them.
