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 20 authoritative titles, including the 2014 CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title, APA Handbook of Sexuality and Psychology.

The most recent addition to the series, the APA Handbook of Clinical Psychology, was published in June 2016. This five-volume set reflects the state-of-the-art in clinical psychology — science, practice, research, and training. For more information, including a full table of contents, please visit the APA website.
