| Summary: | This title firstly reviews: the traditional branches of applied psychology (id est clinical, educational and occupational psychology); some relative newcomers (counselling psychology, forensic and health psychology); and some less obvious areas (careers guidance, counselling, academia), addressing such issues as training, future trends and developments within each field. Secondly it discusses more generic issues facing professional psychologists including: the role of research and evidence-based practice in everyday work; trends in higher education; and continuing professional development. The book concludes with a 'round-table' discussion involving leading psychologists commenting on trends and new directions in their respective fields. |
