The Mission of APPA:
The mission of APPA is to promote the scientific study of psychopathology, including mental disorders of emotion, cognition, behavior, and volition. The Association addresses the study of phenomenology, measurement, and etiologic/risk and protective factors, including biologic, social, cultural, environmental, and contextual influences for psychopathology. A particular focus of the organization is the promotion of methodologic rigor in the study of psychopathology. Its membership represents multiple disciplines engaged in the prevention, evaluation, treatment, and research on the causes and consequences of mental disorders. The Association has a commitment to public health and the promotion of mental health in society.
One of our flagship initiative is the annual conference, where we gather leading investigators from around the globe to present original papers on a carefully chosen topic. This curated program encourages active participation from all attendees, fostering rich discussions and exchanges of ideas.
Our conference offers a unique opportunity to explore cutting-edge issues in psychopathology, bringing together established and emerging disciplines to envision the future of research in the field. Whether you’re a mental health professional, a trainee, or an APPA member, you’re invited to join us in this collaborative journey towards promoting mental health and advancing scientific understanding.
