and

1)    The psychodynamic implications of the Soccer World Cup on the South African Psyche

             Dr. Pieter Koortzen – Leading assessment and psychodynamic expert and academic affiliated to Resolve and the University of Johannesburg

The 2010 Soccer World Cup is going to be the biggest South African showcase ever to grace the world stage.  All eyes, from every corner of the globe, will be turned in our direction for a very crucial six week period that we’ve been planning for and talking about since the announcement by Sepp Blatter on the 11th of August 2002, that South Africa had won the bid.  But what does hosting the 2010 Soccer World Cup mean for South Africans from a psychological, and specifically a psychodynamic point of view?

2)    What is an IO Psychologist? Issues around Role Clarity, Scope of Practice and the IO Psychologist as Consultant
              Stephen Renecle – Industrial Psychologist

Steve will attempt to cut through the mystique and confusion that exists for some, around the nature and scope of IO Psychology practice and will discuss a particular perspective towards IO Psychology practice. The nature of the IO Psychologist’s role as consultant will be sketched, as well as fields of application for the IO Psychologist as consultant. In conclusion, Steve will briefly discuss some of the risks and opportunities facing IO Psychology as profession.
