Who Joins Division 36?

A wide variety of psychological interests and activities exist amond the members of the Division. Members work in virtually every area, from experimental and statistical research to clinical work with children and adults. We are concerned with both the scientific and applied aspects of our field. Many members do research exclusively on issues in the psychology of religion; others bring this interest to bear on a variety of allied areas in psychology. Our professional affiliates may be found working in sociology, religious studies, and the other social sciences. Some members also possess a clerical degree and integrate psychology with the requirements of pastoral life as researchers and practicing clinicians.

Benefits of Membership

Membership includes receiving the Division Newsletter and professional contacts in the field. Most valuable are opportunities for participating in the annual convention and divisional affairs. These allow a kind of personal and intellectual stimulation not available elsewhere. Joint membership in our division and APA also helps us achieve important advocacy priorities within APA concerning the psychology of religion.

Beginning in Spring 2009, members will also receive the Divisons's new official journal, Psychology of Religion and Spirituality, to be published by the American Psychological Association. For more information, visit http://www.apa.org/journals/rel/.

The Division has signed a contract with Taylor & Francis to offer subscriptions to their journal Mental Health, Religion, & Culture at a discount. The subscription rate is £38/US$65 for the 6 issues of the 2007 volume and £48/US$80 for the 8 issues of the 2008 volume. The standard rate for 2008 will be $276, so this is a substantial discount.
