In the article, the authors discuss the importance of psychology to both advance and prevent the causes of peace, social justice, human rights and ecological sustainability. They cite the various problems that demand the use of responsible psychology including multiple wars, social and economic inequality and insufficient access to health care. They report that such issues were tackled during the conference of the Psychologists for Social Responsibility (PsySR) in Brookline, Massachusetts in the summer of 2010.
