Summary : "Welcome to Volume 1 of the five-volume APA Handbook of Clinical Psychology: Roots and Branches. Roots are covered in two history chapters. Branches are covered in 16 specialization and 13 employment setting chapters. The resulting volume provides a breadth of coverage that vividly conveys the expanding scope of practice of clinical psychologists to lay audiences and psychologists alike. All chapters in this volume are infused with the themes of diversity, international contributions, and evidence-based practice. These superordinate themes make the volume particularly relevant to multiple audiences. For people interested in learning about clinical psychology, these themes position clinical psychology in a global and multicultural context, pushing for us all to remain relevant in an increasingly diverse environment. For educators recommending or requiring these chapters, the content offers a cutting-edge perspective from which to conceptualize clinical psychology and from which to identify the many opportunities for growth within and across countries. The volume begins with two chapters that provide accurate historical accounts of the profession, identifying key events and stakeholders and placing them in a coherent narrative. The next seven chapters on specialties cover the developmental spectrum of clients, namely, infant, child, pediatric, adolescent, emerging adult, adult, and geriatric populations. The next two chapters review the specialties of family and community psychology, specializations that place individuals in their broader contexts. Four chapters cover specialties in clinical health psychology, clinical neuropsychology, forensic psychology, and prescribing psychology that cut across the developmental spectrum and settings. Three briefer chapters on emerging specialties occupational clinical psychology, clinical sport psychology, and clinical behavior analysis round out the section. The final set of chapters covers the huge range of clinical psychologists' employment settings. The dozen chapters attest to the vibrant and diverse employment of clinical psychologists, from independent practice and psychiatric hospitals to business settings and primary care"--Introduction.
