The Christian Association for Psychological Studies (CAPS), founded in 1956, is an association of Christians in the counseling and behavioral sciences. It holds a yearly conference, and publishes the Journal of Psychology and Christianity, which is indexed in psychological and other scholarly databases.

The founding of CAPS has been described as part of a recovery of interest in religion among psychologists.[1] Ian Jones stated that CAPS provides alternatives to secular organizations such as the American Psychological Association.[2]

CAPS has several chapters across the United States,[3] and its publishing arm also publishes books. Extensive information about the history of CAPS is available in a book published for CAPS' 50th anniversary, edited by Stevenson, Eck, and Hill.[4]
