Rezensionen

"The fourth audience that may find this volume very
helpful is composed of those psychologists who are steeped in the
literature and practices of their field in their own countries but
have limited international experience. Most practicing
psychologists who read this book are likely to learn something new
about another field. Finally, researchers who are distanced from
their practitioner colleagues may find the research agendas
enlightening." (PsycCRITIQUES, 11 April
2012)

The IAAP Handbook of Applied Psychology is a reference book
that no applied psychologist can do without. It covers all
the areas of applied and professional psychology, with leading
scholars throughout the world. It is a masterpiece of
outstanding quality by a team of distinguished international
psychologists. A must buy for all applied
psychologists.

--Professor Cary L. Cooper, Lancaster University



This up-to-date reference compendium on professional psychology,
in all its specializations and on applied psychological research,
is a landmark resource for every behavioral
scientist-practitioner.

--Dr. Kurt Pawlik, University of Hamburg

Seldom do we see a handbook covering the entire field of applied
psychology from an international perspective, and never before have
I seen such a comprehensive volume with as many distinguished
editors and contributors. With coverage of not only clinical
and counseling, but also such emerging fields as traffic
psychology, psychology applied to poverty, psychology applied to
terrorism, and psychology applied to forced migrants, this book
will be an invaluable resource for psychologists working in any
area of applied psychology.

--David H. Barlow,Boston University
