Dear Colleagues,
 
On behalf of the Organising Committee of the 7th International Conference of Baltic Psychologists which will take place in Riga, Latvia from June 15-17, 2006, we are honoured to extend this invitation. As expressed in the conference theme “Baltic Psychology in Global Context: Where do We Stand?”, our conference will be both Baltic and global – with local and global thematic aspects, with participants including Baltic psychologists, and our colleagues and friends from other European and overseas countries. The central objective of the conference is to make possible for psychology researchers and professional psychologists to share and exchange ideas, information, professional experience and research results from the different fields and various approaches within contemporary psychology.

In each of the three Baltic countries during the Soviet period, there were impediments and restrictions which affected the teaching and practice of psychology to various degrees and within various time frames in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. Yet, in spite of these former restrictions, there have been many significant gains in Baltic psychology, and at present there is ample opportunity for psychologists from the Baltic countries to expand and increase their activities within the global context. Therefore, we suggest that at this point in time, 15 years after the actual gaining of independence of the Baltic countries, it is meaningful to look at the research and practice of psychology which is taking place. This includes discussion of traditional and innovative approaches, of practical issues concerning the legal regulations of psychology in our countries, and other significant issues.

We look forward to seeing you in Riga and enjoying your company!
