Two book series covering supervision topics and theoretical underpinnings of various therapeutic approaches were also recently added to APA PsycBooks.
Recently Released Ebooks
Psychology of Groups: The Intersection of Social Psychology and Psychotherapy Research
Editors: Craig D. Parks, Giorgio A. Tasca
Associated Courses: Applied Social Psychology, Seminar in Community Social Psychology
Group research spans a variety of types of groups and situations. One would expect to find hundreds of studies in the literature that test such questions and regular collaboration among experts who focus on different types of groups. Unfortunately, this is not so.
This book promotes a reversal of this trend. It opens with a review of the original collaborative efforts between group psychologists and group psychotherapists, and a discussion of how and why those groups diverged over time.
Male, female: The Evolution of Human Sex Differences, Third Edition
Editor: David. C Geary
Associated Courses: Human Sexuality and Gender
This third edition of this book is the authors’ attempt to make the prose from the first and second editions more accessible and includes more direct interpretations of the gist of each section. The third edition contains an added chapter on “Sex Differences in the Modern World”. This last chapter includes updates on many of the topics covered in the first edition (e.g., sex differences in academic competencies).
