What’s ahead for psychologists in the coming year?
In 2024, psychology will play a major role in pointing the way toward a healthier, more just society
2024 will be a pivotal year for psychology. The U.S. presidential campaign, already infected with misinformation, needs psychological science’s debunking and prebunking strategies. Generative artificial intelligence—unleashed upon society with few guardrails—will desperately require social science insights as it progresses along its exciting and uncertain trajectory.
The ongoing crisis in mental health care access, the trauma for women and LGBTQ+ individuals whose bodily autonomy is threatened by ongoing legislation, and the backlash against racial equity work present unprecedented challenges and opportunities over the next year. There is hope though as mental health technology enters a second wave of investment, clinicians continue to innovate to reach more patients, new strategies to end addiction make promising headway, and neuroscience helps us to discover ways to protect brain health and treat brutal afflictions like Alzheimer’s.
Join us in exploring these 12 trends.
