The Handbook of International Psychology cover

This second edition of TheHandbook of International Psychology chronicles the discipline of psychology as it evolves in different regions, from the perspective of those living and working in the countries they write about.

This volume surveys the history, methodology, education, training, and future of psychology in more than 100 countries/territories, organized by region and continent. In this thoroughly updated and expanded edition, chapters highlight the important ways in which psychological knowledge and services are contextualized through culture, history, geography, social, and political forces.

This comprehensive handbook is essential for students and teachers of psychology, as well as professionals wanting to develop their understanding of psychology around the world.

“This is a substantially updated, expanded, and enhanced edition of the dated Handbook of International Psychology. It now reflects the global spectrum of modern psychology. The four distinguished editors have direct deep knowledge of the substantial variations in how psychology developed, is conceived, situated, and practiced around the world and have structured the contributions of international authors to capture these features as well as their commonalities. Readers will benefit from learning how varied are the organizations and practices of psychology. This important seminal work belongs on every psychologist's desk.”

J. Bruce Overmier, Emeritus Professor, University of Minnesota and Past President of the International Union of Psychological Science.

“This edition of TheHandbook of International Psychology features an unprecedented sampling of psychology in well- and lesser-known countries around the world. Written by eminent psychologists from these countries, readers will discover common themes and distinct elements in psychology education and training, research and practice, and ethics and law. They will learn about how current and past events as well as culture continue to shape psychology in these countries. The Handbook will become an indispensable text for psychologists, psychology students, and interested readers for years to come.”

Christina J. Montiel, Emerita Professor, Ateneo de Manila University, Philippines; Academician, National Academy of Science & Technology
