Psychologists analyze human beings at different levels - accumulating information about the human behaviour,
regulation of human interactions, human reflexion, mental functions and mechanisms, etc. Psychological Thought
strives for corresponding to the goals of Psychology as a science, namely:

Psychological Thought should create conditions for stimulating development of psychological science. Parallel to
this organizing role, the journal should co-operate for the propaganda of the achievements of psychology.
Psychological Thought should reveal the defensive, integrating and controlling nature of Self; it should point out
the process of transformation of human being into a cognitive personality; it should contest the prejudices and it
should present the mechanisms for their surmounting; it should support the eclectic approach and every method
for finding the truth about human life.

These and other tasks could be executed by Psychological Thought under the following conditions:

The contributing authors should increase in number, scientific areas, geographic location, and quality of scientific
products. They are and could be University lecturers, psychologists working in scientific Institutes, consultants,
educators, interdisciplinary experts, etc. The submitted materials need to present some theoretical analyses and
statistic data processing. The facts should be assessed concerning their consequences for the personality, practice,
behaviour, experiences, education and self-knowledge.

Psychological Thought needs a broad readership interested in the published scientific articles whose content is
not ideological, nor yet journalistic.

Psychological Thought should publish articles on current important topics dealing with the contradictions of
pluralism, individualism, humanism and anomy. The form and the linguistic expression are valuable elements of
authors’ ideas. The reviewer’s decision is a constructive work that contributes to author’s conception.

The Editorial team would like to warmly thank the following colleagues who devoted their time and effort as
reviewers of one or more manuscripts from December 2011 to September 2012:
