Mental Health in Sport and Physical Activity cover

Bringing together the most prestigious writings on mental health in sport and physical activity from the International Society of Sport Psychology’s flagship journal, International Journal of Sport and Exercise Psychology, this volume provides an essential reference for the field of sport and exercise psychology.

Carefully selected for their popularity and impact on the field, the chapters in this volume feature an international range of contributions. Each chapter has been closely updated to ensure its relevance in current research and maintain its position as a piece of state-of-the-art scholarship. Chapters cover a range of topics, including the mental health of high-performance athletes, assessment methods and screening tools, adjustment patterns in the junior to senior transition, the role of perfectionism, body shaming, mindfulness, and exercise addiction. The book concludes with a discussion of key takeaways from the preceding chapters and suggestions for future opportunities. Endorsed by the Society’s Academy of Science, this volume is an authoritative series of writings on mental health in sport and physical activity.

Brought together in a single volume for the first time, the book is a must-have for graduate students, scholars, and professions in sport and exercise psychology.

"This compilation of knowledge and understanding covers a broad range of topics related to mental health in sport and physical activity, making the book an important resource for researchers, practitioners and sport organisations. Because it has such a broad span, it is especially valuable as an introduction to the field of mental health in sport and physical activity."
