The APA Handbooks in Psychology series was launched in 2011 to provide comprehensive overviews and in-depth study of specific subfields within psychology. All of the Handbooks are included in the PsycBOOKS® database, and titles are also available individually.

The series currently contains 30 authoritative titles, including the 2014 CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title, APA Handbook of Sexuality and Psychology.

A recent addition to the series is the APA Handbook of Sport and Exercise Psychology edited by Mark H. Anshel and published in February 2019.

This 2-volume handbook presents new areas of research and links theory with emerging practice to reflect the latest developments in this constantly changing field.
