In the present article, a concise review is done about the academic and institutional circumstances and about some of the events that led to the formation of the Asociación de Psicología Ambiental (PSICAMB) and its first years. Alongside this, the article focuses on the papers that have been presented throughout the twelve conferences and biannual congresses held to the present day. For this purpose, an analysis of the content of the 1065 titles presented during these events. Concerning the participation level, it is easy to observe that it´s growing in number of works presented as well as in the authors that endorse them. Regarding the analysis of the headlines, it was observed that the fifteen categories used were subsumed into five: “theoretical, conceptual and methodological aspects”, “built environment” “natural environment” “conservation psychology”, “risks and disasters”. The analysis results show a high amount in each of these categories except the “natural environment” and it is observed as the years pass that there has been more attention paid to some issues than others.Downloads
