Psychology in Ukraine

To understand the current challenges to psychology in Ukraine, it is important to look at the development of science through the prism of history.

Since the restoration of Ukraine’s independence in the early 1990s of the 20th century, psychology in Ukraine has been actively developing, making up for the gaps and strengthening its scientific and practical potential
