Jedność w różnorodności?! (Wprowadzenie)

Abstract

Contemporary psychology is unquestionably divided into numerous subdisciplines, orientations and schools. This situation generates an urgent need for a dialog between representatives of various conceptions of practicing the psychology as a science and as a social praxis. But first of all it should be emphasized that there is a very important common area for such a dialog and mutual understanding. Namely there are the abidance by methodological rules and the respect for ethical principles. In this volume of “Chowanna” several the most prominent Polish psychologists, inspired by discussions carried on during the XXXIV Scientific Convention of Polish Psychological Society, which took its place in Katowice on the September of 2011, present their own views and opinions upon the main challenges for the contemporary psychology and the best forms of their undertaking.
