Description
Summary:"Welcome to Volume 3 of the five-volume APA Handbook of Clinical Psychology, which focuses on applications and methods. The contents of this volume represent the broad reach of our professional work. The applications of clinical psychology range from traditional, well-established expertise in assessment and psychotherapy to important contributions to prevention, research, education, and training. Clinical psychology also extends to relatively newer areas of consultation, administration, advocacy, and public policy. Each of these activities requires the use of psychological science and evidence-based methods, which lend substantial credibility to our specialty. Our goal in this volume is to convey the vibrant status of clinical psychology in its many applications and methods within the broader arena of health care. In the process, readers will discover both substantial continuities with the profession's origins and new expressions and advances. We hope Volume 3 will enable readers to appreciate the strength of psychological methods and the breadth of psychology's application as we progress further into the 21st century"--Introduction.
