Division for Teachers and Researchers in Psychology (DTRP)
The DTRP is a Division within the British Psychological Society designed to further the interests of individuals following careers in teaching and/or researching Psychology. The Division was set up in 1997 and provides benefits for both members and non members. It aims to be the professional home for any psychologist whose principal activities are in research, teaching, or a combination of both. It was formed to address the professional issues which concern that significant proportion of the Society's membership who do not offer direct psychological services to client groups, but undertake academic duties in schools, colleges, universities, and research establishments (or are undergoing training to equip themselves for careers in these settings), and through their work provide and disseminate essential elements of the knowledge base for a range of professions.

To ensure that the mutual relationship between teaching, scholarship and research, which is so special in psychological science, is sustained wherever possible when psychologists are engaged in teaching; to promote the application of psychological knowledge in the teaching of Psychology.
