Measured Lives – Theoretical Psychology in an Era of Acceleration

Abstract

We bid you a warm welcome to this very first issue of the new open access online journal: International Review of Theoretical Psychologies (IRTP). The IRTP publishes articles originally presented at the latest conference of the International Society for Theoretical Psychology (ISTP), in rewritten, peer-reviewed and revised forms for a global readership. Since 1987, such articles were printed as proceedings volumes, mostly from Captus Press (see the latest at http://www.captus.com/information/catalogue/book.asp?Book+Number=1265). With the IRTP, as an open access online journal, we hope to reach a wider and more diverse readership, while at the same time to uphold the highest academic aspirations, reflecting theoretical, meta-theoretical, historical and philosophical discussions of psychology in all its manifold and varieties.
