The good news: the science of psychology has solved the most important issue in the history (and future) of mankind: the root of suffering and how to end it.

The bad news: nobody in the scientific community seems to realize this. 

Last century has brought forward great advances to the science of psychology. In 1895, Sigmund Freud published with Joseph Breuer their “Studies on Hysteria”, in which they introduce talking as a cure for mental problems and their early ideas on inner conflict. Freud’s book “The Interpretation of Dreams”, dated in 1900, was his first major publication on the unconsciousness. B.F. Skinner wrote “The Behavior of Organisms” on operant conditioning in 1938. Aaron T. Beck and Albert Ellis released their first major publications on cognitions in 1962 and 1967. These publications had an enormous impact on psychology and form the basis of the most prominent therapies, psychodynamic therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy. 

Their theories reveal mechanisms that are applicable to all humans, those with a diagnosis of a mental syndrome and those without. It has been almost sixty years and no new major theories of psychological problems have been published since. 

The Society for Solving Psychology is founded to fill this gap. The name is not really accurate, because we are convinced that the issue is already solved. How it is possible that this is not yet generally accepted knowledge, is a complete mystery to us. That mystery is what we actually intend to solve.
