Welcome to the (re)launch of Singapore Psychologist – SPS’ quarterly flagship magazine first published in the 1980s!

With a unique Singaporean flavour, Singapore Psychologist is SPS’ strategic effort to initiate important conversations and discourse surrounding psychology here at home.

We hope our articles will inspire ideas and meaningful conversations for you and those with whom you share your thoughts. As we aim towards making psychology literature more accessible to the general public, we also seek to celebrate the original works of both students and professionals alike.
