Proceedings
The International Congress of Psychology is a unique gathering of international psychologists from all disciplines within psychology. As such, the published proceedings of the congress provide a comprehensive up-to-date overview of the developments within and challenges facing every area of psychology.
The International Union of Psychological Science has agreed with Psychology Press that the contributions by the Invited Speakers at the international congress, including the Presidential Address, and the Invited Addresses will be published as soon as possible after the congress has taken place.
The invited papers will be published in two volumes, broadly collected by subject:
Volume 1 will contain papers on cognitive and neuropsychological issues.
Volume 2 will contain papers on personality, developmental, social, and cultural issues.

Peter A. Frensch assisted by an editorial board representing the Scientific Program Committee of the congress will edit the volumes.

The volumes are due to be published six to twelve months after the congress.
After the congress each volume will be priced at EUR 98, however either or both volumes may be pre-ordered at a 50 % discount – EUR 49 per volume. This price includes postage and packing. The proceedings order form can be downloaded here.

Private bed and breakfast for visitors of the ICP 2008 offered by psychology students from Berlin and Potsdam
Stay with real Berliners! As a student or junior researcher coming to Berlin for the ICP 2008, you may be looking for an affordable place to stay. Psychology students from Berlin and Potsdam invite you to share their room or flat and breakfast table during the congress. Some of them can offer a bed, but in most cases you will have to bring your own mat and sleeping bag. To balance their expenses, you should give your hosts three or four Euro per night. The opportunity to get first-hand information about psychology and anything else in Berlin and, with a little luck, to find new friends is, of course, priceless but free of charge. We will do our best to arrange as many private places to sleep as possible. However, we cannot guarantee that everyone can be accommodated this way. To register for a private place to sleep, please follow this link: http://www.psytests.de/kongress2008/e01.php

If you need further information on other low-fee accommodation options or have any questions concerning your stay in Berlin, please do not hesitate to contact us: mail to .
