Message from the Editors
Dear colleagues,
in 2025 we published the book Psihologija u promociji i zaštiti ljudskih prava [Psychology in the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights]. It is the first collection tackling human rights topics in Croatian psychology. It was a brilliant chance for us to discover our colleagues’ work and show that we really do have examples of psychological practice framed by human rights perspectives.
Because the book was written in Croatian (an example of how promoting local languages has many advantages) we decided to publish Psychology in the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights – Book of Abstracts in English to help more people access the content. We also see it as inspiration and encourage you to team up with psychologists in your own countries to write about their human-rights-focused work. This dual publication – book in the authors’ own languages and abstracts in English is a model of how we can have both nuanced content and broad access. Not everyone dives into international books in languages other than their own. Even fewer people write in languages other their own.
Please do share this Book of Abstracts if you find it useful or inspiring, and let us know about any similar publications in your language(s)!
