Beskrivning

What do psychologists do outside the walls of universities? By bringing together the personal accounts of a wide range of psychologists actively involved in the practice of their profession, the editors go a long way towards providing an answer to this question.Originally published in 1982, Psychology in Practice provided an insight into the nature of psychology as practiced which both challenged and complemented the picture given from the study of learned texts at the time. The contributors place their own experience in a broader context and thus the book provided an introduction to the increasingly varied fields of application for psychology.Psychology students would find this book invaluable because it provided an account for them of job opportunities and professional outlets. In addition, it would be of use to many psychologists in practice who wished to see how their own field of professional activity was developing and compared with others, and to explore the possibility of broadening the scope of their own work. For those who made use or wished to make use of professional psychology the book provided a map of the field which at the time was not available in any other form.
