Psychwatch: List of Organizations

Index of Psychological Organizations

The following is a comprehensive list of mental health-related organizations which can be accessed online. If you are interested in finding an organization or society that is related to a specific field of psychology, go to the main page of that discipline. (For example, if you want a Neuropsychology organization, go to Neuropsychology in the Disciplines section on the left). You do not need to check both pages- if it's on the discipline page, it is here. If you feel a particular organization should or should not be listed under a specific discipline, please forward us your recommendation. Suggestions for improvement of this site are always welcome...
