"In 1948, the World Health Organization defined the concept of health as a state of general well-being that described three major areas of well-being: the physical, the psychological, and the social. A central theme in psychological professional activity was established; that psychology should serve a social need, and contribute to the welfare of humanity, through the use of professional skills appropriate to the reality in which it must intervene: Research, Professional Application, and Teaching. The changes produced by artificial intelligence have taken us, in four decades, from the home phone to the ‘SmartPhone’ that connects us today ‘without distances’, shrinks the world, and widens access to information. Today teaching is no longer a matter of delivering information, but of analyzing and synthesizing information and creating new paths for human development. I must say it clearly, it is no longer a matter of teaching, but learning; the student is at the center of construction, and other educational actors, among which is the teacher, contribute to the creation of learning environments. Teaching Psychology Around the World (volume 4) moves us to reflection not only on the ‘State of the Art’, but beyond, to the encounter of the human being with global needs, surpassed by a reality that mutates at a greater speed than understanding, which requires a scientific and professional company for the construction of new paths towards harmony, with itself and with its social and natural environment. That is a Scientific Psychology that promotes social development in the inhabitants of the world collective, built without borders by men and women of good will, Investigating, Educating, and Applying.”
