Planning human rights education for psychologists

In this chapter, we first introduce human rights education theories and practices relevant for the education of psychology students. We then suggest how to educate for a human rights-based psychology through curriculum strategies and themes that can be infused in the initial education and ongoing training of psychologists. The chapter concludes with questions to encourage critical reflection and discussion along with additional resources for curriculum planning.
