Abstract
This chapter begins with a rationale for infusing human rights into psychology education and the training of psychology professionals. It then presents the field of human rights education (HRE), including its definition as well as international and regional policies and theories that have evolved over the past 25 years, pointing out their relevance for psychology. In the final section, the chapter proposes human rights–related themes and methodologies for human rights education for psychologists, and social issues that influence and can be informed by psychology.
