APA is the leading scientific and professional organization representing psychology in the United States, with more than 122,000 researchers, educators, clinicians, consultants and students as its members.

Our Work
Our mission is to promote the advancement, communication, and application of psychological science and knowledge to benefit society and improve lives. We do this by:

Utilizing psychology to make a positive impact on critical societal issues.
Elevating the public’s understanding of, regard for, and use of psychology.
Preparing the discipline and profession of psychology for the future.
Strengthening APA’s standing as an authoritative voice for psychology.

APA Strategic Plan
APA is positioning our field to play a leading role in addressing the grand challenges of today and the future. In February 2019, APA’s Council of Representatives adopted a new strategic plan that provides a roadmap to guide and prioritize the work of the organization for the next three to five years. The implementation process will be transformative and comprehensive, with the association realigning itself and refocusing its work in concert with the new APA/APA Services, Inc. strategic priorities.
