The author comments to the Addition to the Topic Category List of the XXVII Congress of Psychology in Stockholm 2000.

Obviously, Topic Category List of the XXVII Congress of Psychology 2000 doesn't cover the whole firmament of the psychological problems and achievements. So, I have to present the Topic Category List Addition (see the reference) at the address http://www.ap.org.ru/eng/topic.htm .The comparison of the Addition to the Topic Category List with that proposed by the Congress organizers make clear that they are complements of each other. They are not contradictorily but they are mutually

complementary. It's only idiot who can find here the hints of the opposition or of the split in the psychology. These are complementary points of view. (In the science it is called comlementarity principle. The complementarity principle of the Danish Nobel Prize Winner Niels Bohr. In particular, under no conditions one can measure at the same time and absolutely exactly both coordinates and impulses of a particle - that is the consequence from the indefinites ratio of W. Heisenberg). Niels Bohr complementarity principle in its real application to the procedure of the complicated psychological phenomena description. Remember the evaluation of the genius Albert Einstein, thrown in to the crowds, about the incredible complicity of the psychics seems to be understated today.

It doesn't justify however the waves of agnosticism going after this evaluation about the capacities of the scientific explanation for the psychological phenomena. The Topic Category List Addition and the Topic Category List as it is today are the realizations of the scientific complementarity principle: to describe Fine phenomena one need to describe them from two complementary sides.

I hope, you'll be able to appreciate the things said here and at www.ap.org.ru with the help of your own thoughts and you'll not turn to an APA member for the comments. Every APA member has got one feature. He (or she) is tied with the APA Ethic Code .

Better to say, he (or she) is voluntary crucified for $27 on the Ethic Code - on this contradictory set f rules. The tongue is nailed with special invisible nails either to the lips, or to the palate or it is voluntary bitten off. You have either to moo, or to reate noisiness. Later, the nails can be get off……...

It is naturally not so, I sharpen the problem consciously, the problem of the dependence of the members on the organization. Unprejudiced opinion, not more. Maybe it's because of the strong order and the coordination with the Ethic Code APA is the largest and the best organized psychologists structure in the world, maybe it's a sign of good manners to be an APA member. Although it is poor (poorness). Although it is financial-lead by somebody. Yet it demonstrates successfully the achievements of the psychological science both in the USA and all over the world. If you are interested in what is said and if you think it can be of interest for you readers and if you are allowed to respond on it, I hope you that will not presented as a scandal or with the shadows of scandal. Scandality is a cheap trick that lasts no longer then a day.

So, what is interesting about the preparation to the XXVII Psychology Congress? The information is at the address: http://www.ap.org.ru
