PINS (Psychology in society) was launched in 1983 as a forum of critical and independent debate about the nature of psychology in apartheid and capitalist South Africa. PINS (Psychology in society) continues to foster a socio–historical and critical theory perspective, by focusing on the theory and practice of psychology in the southern African context.

PINS was founded by Grahame Hayes (the current editor), from the University of KwaZulu–Natal (previously the University of Natal), and Ian Moll, then at the University of the Witwatersrand.

Currently PINS publishes two issues per year. Occasionally the journal publishes a 3^rd issue.

The key abbreviated title for PINS is Psychol. Soc., which should be used in bibliographies, footnotes and bibliographical references and strips.
